TS Star Krissy Kyung Returns to Sponsor 7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – TS star Krissy Kyung is proud to return as a sponsor of the 2015 Transgender Erotica Awards. She has been creating and showcasing her unique brand of t-girl porn for several years now at her site, Krissy4u – Naughty Asian Tgirl, and was one of the original sponsors of the TEA (then known as the Tranny Awards), when it was first starting out as an online-only awards show. Krissy has been thrilled to see the show flourish, and is proud to be a small part of helping the industry grow and maintain positive stereotypes that reinforce the equality and dignity that she believes all people deserve, regardless of race, gender, sexual identity, or creed.

“I am thrilled to see the Transgender Erotica Awards continue to grow and become something that the Industry can truly be proud of hosting; and, I am equally thrilled to continue to help sponsor the event year after year,” said TS star Krissy Kyung. “As I grow older and see more and more young girls come into the Industry, I think it is amazing that there are resources today, largely absent just a few years ago, that are sponsored in part by the Industry itself offering guidance, recognition, and self-esteem that help individuals navigate their careers, and ultimately, their lives.”

As of late, Krissy has been devoting her time to battling the advances of time and gravity, and learning how to best use her remaining days to help those in the Transgender community live successful and rewarding lives. She is in the process of starting a non-profit organization (The Krissy4u Project), funded in part by the proceeds of her adult site Krissy4u.com, that will partner locally and think globally about issues affecting the Transgender community. She expects to retire from Transgender porn upon completing “transition” within the next couple of years and then hopes to live a quiet life “behind the scenes” eating bibimbap and kimchi until she floats up to heaven on a fluffy cloud of white rice.

“I am so thankful to all the fans who make this work both challenging and rewarding, and I would challenge each one to become more personally involved in the lives and well-being of Transgender individuals and Transsexuals who help provide you with the adult entertainment you’ve grown to love,” continued Kyung. “Away from the vanity that award shows tend to be, I think the Transgender Erotica Awards serve an important and necessary place in today’s society, which is ripe for a paradigm shift as it relates to the Transgender communities. It is only through recognizing the intrinsic value that Transgender individuals within our community have as human beings that we can hope for a broader acceptance, and I believe the Transgender Erotica Awards, by giving voice and recognition to one of the most vocal segments of this community, is helping achieve that goal. Again, thank you to all the Fans, media sponsors, and Industry companies who are helping to sponsor this year’s event.”

This year the 7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2014 at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA. The official After Party will be held on Monday, February 16, 2014 at the Avalon’s connecting property, the Bardot. Pre-sale tickets and sponsorship information can be found at theteashow.com.

Burbank, CA – Nominees for the 7^th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards were announced online this past week. A complete list of categories and nominees can be found at theteashow.com.

“Over 700 fans and industry sent us suggestions for the nominations and it’s always the hardest job of our year to decide who makes the shortlist and although we can never make everyone happy, I think we’ve got the most deserved nominees,” said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. “The reaction on our social media has been tremendous as models and fans get ready for their biggest show of the year, even though it’s still four months away! We’ve still got a few sponsor places left, so please contact us to support a unique two-day show that reaches a targeted demographic.”

In the following month, a panel of judges made up from industry and fans will review nominated scenes and material. Winners for all categories, including fan voted awards, will be announced live on February 15, 2015 at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA.

There were only a handful of categories and Grooby Productions sponsored all of the cash prizes. As interest grew, it was expanded into an actual event and has been hosted at a number of different venues in the Los Angeles area. This year cash prizes are being sponsored by returning companies ICM Registry, Shemale.com, and Trans Men Adventures.
