Held at the iconic Avalon Hollywood, Sunday night’s Transgender Erotica Awards welcomed adult performers, producers and companies in true superstar fashion — with a red carpet, flash photography and goodie bags. Kristel Penn, one of the organizers of the Transgender Erotica Awards, spoke about the event, saying:
“Planning for the event started, like, half a year ago since it is a three day event. It all culminates at this sort-of grand finale. So, I’m really, really excited but also very, very exhausted. You know, it used to be an online competition, and it’s expanded a little bit over the years. It used to be held at these little nightclubs in North Hollywood, so to be here at the historic Avalon, it really means a lot to me. Honestly, seeing everybody so happy and dressed up, it makes my heart so happy. I know it sounds cheesy, but I appreciate that everybody kinda makes the trek to come here.”
One of the highlights included TS Madison taking to the stage both before and after a mens dance routine. Speaking from the podium, TS Madison spoke about how trans adult performers were responsible for introducing heterosexuals to their community:
“I’m sick of these advocates who try to shame sex workers. We are the most important people in this trans struggle!”
TS Madison also spoke briefly about the transexual experience. This year’s sponsors included:
- CameraPrive.com
