New Transcendence Award Category Announced for Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – The Transgender Erotica Awards announced a new category for the upcoming show, now known as the Transcendence Award. The award was created by first-time sponsor, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Sinclair.

The Transcendence Award celebrates the accomplishments of the performer who has been an ambassador of the industry, embodying a positive appearance and attitude toward those she works with.

Nominees for this year include Brooke Zannell, Chelsea Marie, Eva Cassini, Jordan Jay, Michelle Austin, Penny Tyler, Sasha Strokes, and Tori Mayes. This shortlist will be given to a panel of different industry judges who will vote on the winner.

“Did you ever dream you were flying? Did you ever dream you were performing before 20,000 and they loved everything you did? This award the Transcendence award is about that. It’s about making gold from dust,” said Dr. Sinclair. “This award is about these special few who deliver an experience that takes us beyond our normal boundaries. These artists use their creative skill and imagination to produce a work that lets us revel in emotional and physical pleasure. These exceptional people make us forget our stresses and problems and entertain us with stimulation and excitement, taking us to a better understanding of who we are and what we want.”

Dr. Alexander Sinclair is a board certified surgeon who offers a wide array of services, including breast enhancement, buttock enhancement, facial feminization, hair grafting, and gender reassignment. Visit his official website at www.TGSurgery.com for more information on his practice.

His experience with gender variance began in the 1970s as a college student when he acted at the LaMama Theater with some of the stars of Club 82. In 1979, he did a plastic surgery rotation at the Stanford University Transgender Clinic, but unfortunately the academic surgical program was phased out. As his own clinical practice evolved, his transgender patient population increased and he became interested in serving the trans community.

“We’ve been developing and growing the award show over a number of years and the aim was always to try and attract more mainstream sponsors to sit alongside our adult industry sponsors,” said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. “Changing the name of the show was the catalyst for many to look at opportunities and we’re very happy to have been able to attract one of Los Angeles’ top cosmetic surgeons. Dr. Sinclair is our exclusive surgeon sponsor and we look forward to entertaining him and his guests at the show.”

The 7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA. The official After Party will be held on Monday, February 16, 2015 at the Avalon’s connecting property, the Bardot. Pre-sale tickets can be found at theteashow.com.

UP Network’s TS Rockdolls, Piladyboy, and Victoria Veil to Sponsor Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – Trans websites TS-Rockdolls, Piladyboy, and Victoria Veil, in conjunction with their parent company UP Network, announced their sponsorship of the 7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards. The UP Network and its stars are nominated in multiple categories this year.

Owner and star of TS-Rockdolls.com Tempest said, “It’s a pleasure for myself and TS-Rockdolls once again to be both a nominee and sponsor of the TEAs and find myself among so many young dreamers battling away at the world’s old realities. As trans individuals we take our place in this world and are judged not by the questions we raise in others, but the strength and defiance that we deliver our answer. Much like the event riding forth under a new name there is a new journey to be started, a new promise to be fulfilled, a new page to be written. Be beautiful, be adventurous, be creative, be original.”

Victoria Veil, owner and star of VictoriaVeil.com, is excited to sponsor the Transgender Erotica Awards. “Erotica is about so much more than porn and sex,” said Veil. “And that’s doubly true for transgender performers who by their very nature shatter barriers in adult entertainment. It’s storytelling and delightful decadence, sexual release and kinky discovery, and I am thrilled to sponsor the only awards show for TG performers.” Veil is also known for her stunning appearances at EXXXOTICA and the LAIR at the AVN EXPO.

CEO of UP Network and owner of Piladyboy.com Ernie Black added, “We are proud to once again sponsor the Transgender Erotica Awards, to celebrate and give back in some small way to the trans community, and especially to represent the Transpinay culture of the Philippines. Indeed, we are thrilled by the nominations of two of our ladyboy models, Francine Gurchik and Vitress Tamayo. And I am personally ecstatic to be nominated as a photographer, acknowledged by my peers and in such fine company. Onward and UPward, always strive to break through the mundane to the extraordinary.”

UP Network is home to a variety of alternative porn sites in addition to TS-Rockdolls.com,VictoriaVeil.com andPiladyboy.com, including BitchSlapFilms.com and Eliteladyboy.com. They also provide web design services and hosting, in addition to production for the adult market. For more information, visit UP-Network.net.
