Here’s a few pictures from the Tranny Awards presentation (thanks Willie!):

So this is a little bit of a recap of the evening. It started with a red carpet interview with sexy porn superstar Danielle Foxxx. I admit I felt pretty intimidated seeing the set up in front of the club when I first drove by. But once I got my nerve up and started talking with her I felt a little more at ease.

Overall it was a pretty fun night. Krissy ended up presenting me the award and gave a really gracious and warm introduction. I thought of a lot of things that I wanted to say but blanked out once I was on stage and basically just thanked Trixie for all the hard work she puts into our sites. Let’s just say public speaking is not really my forte. I had a nice time hanging out with Krissy. She’s one of the people I’ve been wanting to meet in real life for a long time.

There were so many beautiful woman there and some pretty sexy guys as well. I think I could have sat and people watched all night long. Unfortunately I was pretty tired from doing an early shoot and not really working at maximum capacity. I’m kind of socially retarded as it is so I didn’t get to introduce myself to a lot of the girls that I would liked to have met. The music was so loud that I was having problems hearing what people were saying anyway.

I did get to talk with Mandy briefly and say hi to her mischievous friend Kimberly Kills, who has really been grabbing the ts porn scene by the balls lately. Felicia Katt was kind enough to introduce herself and point out a few people to me. I also had a nice chat with Aly Sinclair who was mercilessly cock teasing some poor cute boy. She was also generous enough to extend an invitation for after party festivities. But, as I mentioned, I was pretty beat by that time. I think I said a quick hi to Britney Markham and Jesse Flores, bumped butts with Kinky Kennedy Logan and Natalia Coxx, and watched Morgan Bailey do some creative accessorizing with glow sticks.

Standing on stage next to Olivia Love is something I will remember and cherish forever. She is such a classy lady, incredibly beautiful and sexy. The work she has done in transsexual porn will be remembered and jerked to for years to come. Personally I hope she decides to continue working for my own selfish reasons.

On the other end of the spectrum it was sweet to share the stage with the up and coming Amy Daly though I didn’t really get a chance to say hello. I loved her half cocked acceptance speech complete with a double finger salute! That had me grinning from ear to ear. And Hazel Tucker just has an aura about her that glows with sweetness. I didn’t get a chance to say hi, but I think she caught me making googly eyes at her a few times.

It was nice to meet some of the Grooby family as well – Owner Steve Gallon, P.K. Vegas, Buddy Wood – all were really friendly and had nice things to say.

I think my favorite part of the evening though was just meeting fans. It’s so rare that I really meet anyone who has seen any of my work. So to have people recognize me and come up and say that I really deserve the award or they love what I do face to face really meant a lot to me.

So many people and so little time. I would like to once again extend a congratulation to all the award winners and to Grooby for pulling off a fabulous evening! I hope next year is even bigger and better!!!

The first week of March I’ll be heading down to Los Angeles for the Tranny Awards, the only all transgender adult entertainment award. This is the second year of the award and the first time that there will be an actual event in conjunction with it. I’ve been really impressed at the growth of the TA’s in just one year and I hope that it will continue to grow in years to come.

I feel honored to be receiving the award for best amateur tg website this year and I’m really excited that I’ll be able to make it down for the first ever show/ceremony/party.  To tell you the truth I don’t really know what to expect. I’ve never even been to LA before. Some of the most beautiful women and biggest names in ts porn are going to be there (and probably a few big name non-ts porn stars) and I can’t help but feel intimidated by that thought. Being a web based model on a small independent site makes me feel so far removed from that whole scene. I’m such a country mouse.

One of the reasons I feel nervous about this trip is that Trixie won’t be joining me. It will be the first time that I’ve really traveled without her since just after we met.  Not that we actually do a lot of traveling, but I know I’m going to miss her company. The other thing that makes me a bit nervous is that it will be the first time traveling alone in sobriety. I’ve never been too far away from my little support group here. And while I’ve never really thought about drinking again, I usually do my best to avoid the temptation. I did check online and have lined up a few 12-step meetings for while I’m there and have plenty of people I can call if the need arises.

I know it’s going to be a fun night and something I’ll probably remember for a long time.  Right now though I’m just feeling really anxious about the whole thing.

I’ve also been trying to line up a few shoots while I’m down there.  So far I don’t have anything solid.  One production company did say that they were interested but I still haven’t been able to confirm with them.  I got one definite no and one that I still haven’t heard back from.  And I thought winning a tranny award would make these sort of things easier, lol.  To be fair though the award was for the site as a whole and not me as a model so . . . yeah.

I feel pretty confident that something will work out while I’m there and if not I’ll have a little extra time to explore the City of Angels.

Here’s a few pics from my latest update. There’s sort of a Thanksgiving theme worked in there You can also see previews of all my latest updates at Trixie and Friends.

I’ve already been to one family Thanksgiving celebration and a potluck so on Thanksgiving day this year Trixie and I will be having a quiet little celebration of our own. We’ve also scheduled cam shows for Friday and Saturday to keep some of you company while everyone else is out shopping

The 2nd annual Tranny Awards is now open for nominations. So be sure to head over and nominate your favorite TS/TG performers! Last year I was runner up in my category to the tantalizing Tara Emory. There’s been a few really great sites that have come out in the past year and I’ve seen some really hot content from other sites, so I’m not holding my breath or anything.

Well the results are in for the 2008 Tranny Awards. Although I didn’t get a win this time around, at least I got an honorable mention. And to be truthful being a runner up to Tara Emory feels like a win to me. I would be lying however if I said I didn’t feel just a twinge of disappointment when I first saw the results. I know I have a pretty unique site and I know how much time and effort both Trixie and I have put into making it the best we can. So, to me actually winning didn’t seem completely out of the question.

Congratulations to all the winners, runner ups and even those who got nominated. I’m glad I got a little more exposure in the industry and some extra traffic to my site because of the awards. It’s also great to just have enough fans out there that I was able to get nominated in the first place. They are talking about making it an actual live event next year, like the AVN’s or GayVN’s but specifically for the transgender community. I think it would be a great idea given the relative lack of recognition TS performers get the bigger awards shows. The trophy would have looked sweet up on the mantle but there’s always next year!

Hormones! I feel like my body is really starting to feel the effects of being on hormones for almost four months now. It seems like there are a lot of little changes that have been happening at a really gradual rate. At times it feels like watching paint dry or something. Slowly breasts are starting to emerge from my flattened chest. My skin has been getting softer and smoother. My hair feels like it’s softer, less coarse, and a bit more shiny. My ass is beginning to round out a bit and my facial features are starting to soften some.

I’ve also been having this strange sensation lately, like something is stirring inside me at an emotional level. I know it sounds a bit trite but I feel kind of like I’m just waking up after a long sleep or the fog is finally starting to lift. I’m starting to feel more in tune. Sometimes it seems like I can feel the estrogen moving through my veins and pulsing through my body. Kind of a faint tingling sensation that makes me feel like I’m more alive. I feel like my whole body is resonating at a higher frequency, where it should have been long ago. Like things are starting to sync up on a bunch of different levels.

When I first hit puberty and my body started cranking out the testosterone my brain was like WTF? It’s like somehow the wires got crossed and my brain started to function differently. Parts of my mind shut down. I became more socially isolated. My verbal communication skills began to dwindle. I began to lose touch with my feelings growing more and more emotionally numb. I spent less time with others and more time on my own. My whole outlook on life was apathetic. I knew something was wrong but I had no idea what it was or even how to express what it was that I was feeling.

I know that puberty is a really hard part of anyone’s life but for me it was especially hard. My parents could see it and were concerned enough to send me to a shrink. I only saw him a few times and never trusted him enough to talk to him about my crossdressing habits. I think I just thought he would blab to my parents and I would end up getting in trouble for it so I just told him what I thought he wanted to hear; just enough to get him off my back so I wouldn’t have to go see him any more.

When I first starting telling people that I had started HRT a few transsexual friends said “Welcome to second puberty”. I think in a large part this is like going through a second puberty. I also feel like the initial stage of it is wiping out some of the damage done by my first bout with puberty. Kind of like I’m reversing my male puberty while I’m starting my female puberty. So today I feel like I’m close to where those two intersect at some kind of hormonal crossroads. Like I’ve reached equilibrium between the amount of testostorone and estrogen in my body and now I’m ready for the second puberty to really kick in.

Of course there are other factors in my life right now that are contributing to this sense of overall well being. I quit drinking and started on a path of recovery from alcoholism at the same time I started on HRT. So sobriety has given me a new outlook on life as well. I also feel like I’ve been reconnecting and growing a bit spiritually which is another positive factor in my life. Overall though things just seem to heading in the right direction in my life for the first time in a very long time.

2008 Tranny Awards

Something else exciting going on in my life is getting nominated for the 2008 Tranny Awards. I just wanted to thank all of you who went over and voted for me during the pre-nomintaions. I’m pretty excited and honored to be in the running for an award in the “Best TG Amateur Style Website” category. Here’s the rundown of the other nominees:

It’s a nice collection of sites. I was a little surprised to see some TS sites mixed in there when I first looked over the list, since they also have a “Best Solo TS Paysite or Paysite Operated by a TS” with the following sites nominated:

But they did include a asterisk with the following explanation:

* these sites were selected into this category and not the Solo TS Paysite either because the model wasn’t somebody who mainly worked as a “porn performer” or it’s a very personal website – most of the sites in the other category are aided by larger companies whereas the “Amateur Style” is also for models who run more of the website themselves.

Which does make sense since some of the solo TS models don’t actually have much input into there sites or the sites are run big production companies with fat budgets. But on the other hand a few of the sites in the “amateur style” category do have other companies doing design and promotion work for them and aren’t run completely by the models themselves. So I think they need to refine the parameters a little in the future to better define the categories. I think they are off to a pretty good start though, considering all the obstacles.
