Los Angeles, CA<\/b> – Grooby, the leading producer of trans erotica, won big at the XBIZ Awards and the XBIZ Industry Executive Awards last week. The company took home four awards in total.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much to XBIZ and everyone who voted for Grooby,\u201d said Steven Grooby. \u201cWe have a small, dedicated team who take great pride in what we do as a company so to be honored with awards at Xbiz this year for Trans Release of the Year, Adult Site of the Year (Trans), and Trans Studio of the Year is a fantastic reward and motivation for everyone across the company.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThank you also for recognizing Kristel as Brand Ambassador of the Year, she’s been putting love, heart and soul into Grooby since she began and to see her nominated and then winning alongside other fabulous nominees was much appreciated. Finally, thank you for recognizing Mona Wales’ first directorial release, ‘Real Fucking Girls’, which is an unique of a project that we’ve ever released. All the women who worked on that DVD should be very proud of what they’ve accomplished with it. Thank you XBIZ for \u00a0the recognition and encouragement for us to go forward with in 2017.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night at the XBIZ Awards Grooby won Trans Release of the Year for \u2018Real Fucking Girls\u2019, Adult Site of the Year for ShemaleYum.com, and Trans Studio of the Year. Buddy Wood\u2019s \u2018Tranny Vice\u2019 was also nominated in the Trans Release of the Year category, along with Grooby Network stars Kylie Maria, Chelsea Marie, and Domino Presley for Trans Performer of the Year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, Grooby\u2019s Marketing and Editorial Director Kristel Penn won the 2017 XBIZ Industry Executive Award for Brand Ambassador of the Year. Owner Steven Grooby was up for Businessman of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to win such a prestigious award for my work at Grooby,\u201d said Kristel Penn. \u201cSteven has been instrumental in encouraging me to branch out and diversify our brand and I’m excited for what’s ahead for our company. Although I\u2019m a representative for Grooby, I hope others will feel like this is a shared win for the trans adult industry as a whole.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Aubrey Kate on winning Trans Performer of the Year,\u201d Steven Grooby added. \u201cNever has an award been more appropriate for one of the hardest working and professional transsexual performers in the industry and we thank her for working with us.\u201d \u00a0Aubrey Kate starred in Real Fucking Girls and also appeared in XBIZ nominated Tranny Vice, in addition to appearing on many of Grooby\u2019s popular websites. <\/span><\/p>\n
