2012 – The TEA’s, New Producers & Jane Marie

Posted on August 29, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Radius Dark, Omar Wax and Kilakali all joined us in 2012 and changed the content substantially. Each shooting in a different style, they upped the game for the other producers as along with PK Vegas, they were invested in improving the image quality and lighting. Models loved what they do, and continue to do so. All three have contributed some of the best models we’ve ever seen, and been an integral part of the company.

During this time, Grooby started the TEA awards as a proper show, it grew it’s brand as Grooby, and with the producers started to look … Read More

2011 – Chelsea Marie

Posted on August 28, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Chelsea Marie. An original Grooby Girl. What I love about working with models like Chelsea is that she’s been with us since Jack Flash’s original shoot, as a slightly geeky girl next door, and she’s developed with us and other companies over the years to the star she is today. She has to be one of the models who has appeared the most with us, across almost every site. She always seems up for a shoot, and always delivers. It’s been great to watch these models grow and develop over the years.

2010 – Relocating from Hawaii to Los Angeles

Posted on August 27, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

In 2010, we relocated the Hawaii office to Los Angeles. We had a cool studio and office, Danny came along working graphics for us and both Frank and Buddy were shooting with us in LA, Tony in NY, Kevin Dong in Canada,

She debuted in 2009 (another reason to love that year) but it’s 2010 that I met her, and I think she really came of age. Morgan Bailey. I love her. It’s platonic but I just love her. She’s a friend, she’s someone I love to spend time with, it’s someone I’d reach out to if I need – … Read More

2009 – The Greatest Year in Trans Porn?

Posted on August 26, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Was this the great period on trans porn? Many would think so. With Buddy shooting in LA, PK in Las Vegas, Tony in NY, Remy in Baltimore and a host of other producers shooting across the world, the content was amazing. However, it was also the time when piracy became rampant and while we continued to deliver great content, and new models our income was down. We were now charging $29.99 a month for 5 updates a week including 2 hardcores a month, but sales were down. We were hurt, but not as much as some of our competitors and … Read More

2008 – Diversity and Inclusivity

Posted on August 25, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Frank Drachman I’d know for years. In the late 90s he’d had a trans site, and he designed some of the first graphics for the site. He’d been shooting for us in Portland area, and he was delivering models outside of the stereotype of what was expected. “Suicide Girls” was big, tatted models had been coming up, models without boob jobs, with short hair or alternative, skater, emo type looks. These were exciting and different. They didn’t please everyone, but they pleased enough and with our ethos of showing the widest range of models, while other companies focussed elsewhere, we … Read More

2007 – Buddy Wood

Posted on August 24, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Buddy Wood joined us in 2006, but really started producing in San Diego in 2007. I can’t understate how much he brought to the show. He’s cool, he has a different vibe and he was the youngest producer next to me (we’re a year apart). All the other producers had a few years on us, and were a bit ‘old school’. Probably what many of the producers now thing of us! Buddy was an equal opportunity shooter, he was so inclusive that girls who hadn’t thought they could appear on a website, now realized they could. With Frank Drachman coming … Read More

2006 – Growth, Girls, Producers and TS Jesse

Posted on August 23, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

2006 was an amazing year. We featured Yasmine Lee, Allanah Starr, Athena Adams, Carmen Cruz, Ariel Everitts, Heather Towers, Melania and a load of stars. Video Bob died of a massive heart attack, we fired Steve in Atlanta and Tom in SF started a short career with us getting new girls in San Francisco, Greg was shooting in the UK and I covered Hawaii while Frank roamed the US. Tony was still delivering like crazy, and one brand new model he found was Jesse Flores whom he shot in her debut this year, which also included Christian. Jesse has appeared … Read More

2005 – We are ‘a thing’ !

Posted on August 22, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

Shemale Yum and Grooby became a ‘thing’! We were getting published by AVN, we were going to shows, we were appearing at clubs across the country and I believe by now, I realized that this wasn’t just a passing fad and for 9 years I’d been developing as a business person and not just a horny Brit looking to photograph gorgeous girls. I also belive it was around this time we found our IP, which was to show the widest range of trans models. Where sites like Shemale Club, or Shemalexxx.com would work with the stereotypical big stars, I wanted … Read More

2004 – The LA Years!

Posted on August 21, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

There are vintage years where it seems almost every model is a hit, and the 2003/2004 period was just that.  Tony Vee was continuing to shoot like crazy, we were getting great content from Steve and Video Bob.  Grooby and Shemale Yum was becoming a ‘thing’, girls were contacting us asking to work with us.  I was shooting in LA and San Francisco with stars and although it was still a struggle to fill up the updates, we were getting the content in.  At this time Shemale Yum was running as a magazine format with updates every Sat of 4-5 … Read More

2003 – Amber Vaughn

Posted on August 20, 2021June 10, 2025 by Steven

If Shawna was our first megastar, Amber Vaughn was our second.  Discovered by Tony Vee she’d been working with us since 2000 but by 2003 was in hot demand everywhere appearing in a number of Joey Silvera films, and elsewhere.  Drop dead gorgeous, I don’t think I’d ever seen anyone this hot before.   She left the industry shortly after this shoot.

In 2003 Vegas Bob sadly took his own life, and a new producer came on board.  Steve in Atlanta,  our first black producer – and he opened doors where we previously couldn’t.

Our third superstar, and I have … Read More
