The Official Tgirl Awards Winners Thread

[GroobySteven]

Thanks to everyone involved in a stellar event on Sat night at Blue Moon Nights. Despite a few teething problems due to the club owners not being the most organized, the awards got underway pretty much on tranny time by midnight.

However before that we had the red carpet event in which Danielle Foxx among others, interviewed the hottest and some of the most famous transsexual models ever. Danni Daniels and Morgan Bailey expected to be a foot above the rest but it was a surprise appearance by Victoria Porshe to show that they aren't the tallest tgirls. It's just as well there wasn't a prize for the Best Dressed Model as it would have been too difficult to choose but apart from the aforementioned Danielle, Yasmin Lee, Foxxxy, Jesse, Sheeba Starr and Vaniity were particularly memorable. Ben in LA easily won the Best Dressed Man.

There were plenty of press in attendance from Bizarre Magazine, AVN, XBiz and Robert Rhiney from "Girls and Corpses" as well as a few undercover writers. Producers were of course there in full: Joey Silvera, Sam Mancini, Tony Vee, Jon Sable, Ed Hunter, Tomcat (Kink), Frank, Buddy Wood, Bob and more to meet the models.

This event could not have happened without the sponsors, whose money went straight into the winners prizes. Grooby Productions covered the costs of the awards, advertising and all costs for the evening.

The award show kicked off with a number by MC for the evening, and model, Michelle Austin. These are the winners and some notes.

Delia from "http://www.deliats.com" to present award for:

BEST FREE WEBSITE sponsored by http://www.Krissy4u.com

WINNER: HungAngels.com

(closely followed by Caramel's Tgirls)

Krissy4u present the award for:

Best Independent Site sponsored by http://www.trannynewsdaily




WINNER: http://www.deliats.com

There was nobody even close to Delia's site which she has won now two years in a row.

Jesse Flores presented the award for:

Best Non-TS Performer




WINNER: Angelina Valentine

with a close runner up as Hollie Stevens in one of the tightest categories.

Angelina has stated she was going to show but wasn't able.

Hazel Tucker presented the award for:

Best DVD




WINNER: Morgan Bailey's Bad Day

Completely wiped the boards with every judge rating it high. Morgan accepted on stage with Buddy as this was a joined effort (and co-stars Amy Daly and Olivia Love also joined the fun)

There were two Lifetime Achievement Awards presented by Grooby Productions Owner, Steven Grooby.

The first was to Joanna Jet.

Joanna started in the industry as basically a fan of Shemale Yum in its earliest day and self-submitted some photos of herself as well as winning a banner competition. Soon after she made the transition and went into modeling with vigor.

She's starred in and produced some of the best TS porn around and worked with every major producer as well as running her own successful company. She's tenacious, determined, has a great business head, produces content second to none and really enjoys what she does.

Joanna was instrumental in encouraging AVN to do a Best TS Performer Award. If it wasn't for models like Joanna, then today's newer models would find it a lot harder.

She's a lovely person and a friend of mine. She came back as a model in 2010 on Shemale Pornstar and is going to continue to model as well as co-produce material in Europe for Grooby.

Here's the acceptance video she Joanna Jet sent in for you all:

The second Lifetime Achievement Award went to Tony Vee who was shocked at being called up - and as he's on the shy side, said only a few words. Tony started working for Grooby in 1997/98 and has shot over 800 models for them in that time, many with mutliple sets. He was the first photographer to work with people like Ashley George, Allanah Starr, Chrissy Snow, Danni Daniels, Carmen Cruz, Amber Vaughn, etc. Literally 100's of models got their first shoots through Tony, who in the pre-internet days used to scour newspapers and the streets to find new models.

He's still producing and looking like there will be no end to the amount of models he finds (having shot a model only hours before the shoot - and a new one the following morning). He's an awesome friend, Joey Silvera thinks his work is among the best ever seen and he's a legend. Tony Vee.

The ever lovely and graceful Yasmin Lee performed.



Shemale Strokers Model of the Year was the only award already pre-determined...



and WINNER Britney Markham, had brought her Mom, who was in attendance. This award was voted by members of http://www.shemalestrokers.com. Domino Presley presented her award and Britney (doing a Jenna Jameson) announced her retirement from porn, after doing some great scenes in a short but well-enjoyed career.

The ever graceful Mia Isabella looking fantastic presented the award for:

Best DVD Director



Unsurprisingly and very deservedly went to...Buddy Wood which was an almost unanimous judges decision.

Previous Winners of the Awards Morgan Bailey and Natalia Coxx took the stage next for the presentations of:

Best Model Shemale Yum - as voted by the members of Shemale Yum - with a $1000 prize money.



Domino Presley was the winner by a mile.

Other high contenders here included Bailey Jay, Alice Amuze and Danni Daniels.

Best Model Black Tgirls - as voted by the members of BlackTgirls - with a $1000 prize money.



WINNER: Sheeba Starr - after making a comeback in 2010 to Black Tgirls, after a 6 yr absence from the industry, it's great to see her.

A go-go dancing break as people mingled was followed by Taylor McGhee making his announcement in the tightest category, Best Solo TGirl Website.



WINNER: http://www.mandy-mitchell.com/ - it's stunning photography, pushing the boundaries of TS porn with often non-typical models, Mandy Mitchell has created a brand and a look that she owns.

She looked simply fantastic tonight and it was good to see her win.

Close runner ups were Jesse and Mia Isabella.

The lovely Foxxy presented the Best DVD Performer in a category that could have went anywhere. A $1000 prize money was sponsored by Tgirl Network by SMC.

Best DVD Performer



WINNER: Jessica Fxx

A surprise winner but her look and scenes are consistently excellent.

Best Website Model Solo was presented by the superstar Vaniity who once again showed herself to be one of the most stunning and graceful models ever. With a $1000 award from Tranny Box.





No huge surprises when WINNER: Bailey Jay won--this seems to be her year. Her closest runner up was Sarina Valentino and Domino Presley. Bailey had said she's be at the awards but didn't make it. This email came later and she will be accepting it this week:

"I just heard the awesome news!! I'm so happy I won!! I'm sorry I couldn't attend last minute.

I really am honored for the win!

Thanks for giving me my start in this crazy industry,

Bailey"

Best Website Model Hardcore with it's $1000 prize money sponsored by Tranny Access was presented by one of the Best hardcore performers of all time, Danielle Foxx:



WINNER: Celeste

Fantastic to see a model who doesn't always get as much press (due to the fact she doesn't court it) getting recognition. Celeste was unavailable to collect but her friend Renae did on her behalf.

The final award, is often the most important and shows who MAY be the next big star. Last years winner, Amy Daly presented

Best Up & Cummer and it's $1000 prize sponsored by Grooby to…



WINNER: Domino Presley

Runners up incl. Danni Daniels, Brittany St.Jordan, Alice Amuze and Yazlene Reyes but Domino won clearly.
