Domino Presley’s Pop Group, The Gurls, Wows the Crowd at Atlanta Pride

ATLANTA, GA - Superstar Domino Presley and her pop group, The Gurls, performed their hit single “Glamour” in front of thousands of people at Atlanta Pride this past week. 

“I still feel the bass of our song in my feet and legs,” said Presley. “It was a phenomenal performance and I couldn’t be any prouder of my sisters, Alissah and Gia Gunn. The crowd went wild when Gia entered the stage and I’m glad we were able to give that little gift to Atlanta. This was a great moment for us as The Gurls.” 

Alissah added, “It was such an amazing pride weekend in Atlanta. Premiering our first single and performing it was incredible. The energy the crowd gave us was pure magic. Thank you wussy, Phoenix, and Atlanta Pride for giving us the opportunity to showcase our talents.”

The Gurls performed their latest single, “Glamour,” at Atlanta’s famed Starlight Cabaret as part of Atlanta Pride 2022. The venue erupted into cheers when The Gurls surprised the crowd by welcoming Rupaul’s Drag Race alum Gia Gunn to the stage. 

Gunn stated, “It was such a great honor to be able to perform at this year’s Atlanta Pride!  After years of being separated, it felt amazing to be together again.  Being on stage doing the choreography with Alissah and Domino reminded me why I love doing what I do!”

The Gurls’ recent Atlanta Pride performance represented a homecoming show for Alissah and Presley, who spent their early careers in the Atlanta drag scene and performing at Starlight Cabaret for years. The Gurls’ official music video for their latest single, “Glamour,” racked up over 22,000 views on YouTube within the last two days. 

Presley and The Gurls Co-Founder, Alissah, made their stage debut at the 2022 TEAs in Hollywood, CA, where Presley also served as the Mistress of Ceremonies. Their performance of Alissah’s hit song, “Daddy,” was met with a roaring standing ovation from the audience. The two combined musical forces to create pop group, The Gurls, with an alternating third spot reserved for other LGBTQ performers to join the duo.  

The Gurls made their official stage debut at this year’s London Pride in front of thousands of fans where they performed alongside Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham as featured guests on her hit summer anthem, “Woof.” To learn more about The Gurls, follow them on Instagram at @th3gurlsmusic.

The Sky’s the Limit for Domino Presley with New Musical Endeavor, The Gurls

LAS VEGAS, NV - Award-winning performer Domino Presley has transcended her success in the adult industry and set her sights on musical stardom with The Gurls, a musical group created by her and trans recording artist Alissah. The Gurls made their official stage debut at this year’s London Pride in front of thousands of fans where they performed alongside Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham as featured guests on her hit summer anthem, “Woof.” 

“There were thousands upon thousands of happy Pride goers cheering and dancing to a song we are featured on,” mused Presley, “It was unreal and quite magical performing live in front of a crowd that size.”

Alissah echoed Presley’s sentiments. “Performing ‘Woof’ was such an amazing moment. It validated what we had been doing and also solidified that we are here to stay.” 

Presley, who also goes by the stage name Domino Balenciaga, first teased the audience at the 2022 Trans Erotica Awards and appeared in trans recording artist Alissah’s opening number. The audience erupted with cheers during her rap verse of the YouTube exclusive remix of Alissah’s hit song, “Daddy.” 

Since the performance back in March, Presley has continued to pour her talents into cultivating her music career. Alissah and Presley then combined musical forces to create the pop group, The Gurls, with an alternating third spot reserved for other LGBTQ performers to join the duo.  After a busy summer for The Gurls, Presley and Alissah returned to the recording studio and invited Rupaul’s Drag Race alum Gia Gunn to appear on their upcoming track, “Glamour.”

“I’m so excited to announce we have our first single dropping in the beginning of October, just in time for Halloween and Atlanta Pride,” explained Presley. “It’s definitely a dance song and with a title like Glamour we thought it only appropriate to feature my good sis Miss Gia Gunn after her viral post asking, ‘where is the glamour?’ The song is produced by B.Ames and has tons of attitude with some Ballroom/Vogue vibes. I obviously had to give a shout-out to the house I’m in, House of Balenciaga. You should most definitely expect a music video as well” 

“It’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to do music but this collaboration is so special because we are embracing sisterhood, being visible, and most importantly, demonstrating trans power!” added Gunn. “I can’t wait to see you all have fun with this new bop!”

Alissah is excited about the release of “Glamour.” She stated, “It’s evolved into this sexy, strong anthem of self-love. It’s a vibe and we are excited to be at the clubs with this song.”

Jamie French Appears on Transitions Stories Podcast

LAS VEGAS, NV - Jamie French candidly discussed her trans journey and history in the adult industry on the Transition Stories Podcast hosted by Phoebe J. Rose. 

French shared, “In this episode of the Transition Stories Podcast, Phoebe and I go deep about my entry into the adult entertainment industry, what it is to occupy space in the ‘trans niche’ and how to effectively break a pair of headphones while podcasting live.”

In Season 4, Episode 3 of Transition Stories with Phoebe J. Rose, French shared her transition story, recounting the support she’s had from family and friends throughout her journey. 

Rose discussed the unique breadth of the experiences of trans people. French added, “I don’t want to paint this picture where everything has been honky-dory. I’ve absolutely had very traumatic things happen in my life, like everybody, ups and downs…but none of the horrible things that have happened in my life have affected what it means to me to be a trans person. Being trans is a part of me, and outside factors and outside circumstances have no bearing on what it means to be trans. It is something that I own and that I express, something I feel completely in charge of, and no outside forces or circumstances or authority has any effect on that.” 

The episode can be viewed online on Phoebe Rose’s Official YouTube here.

Grooby’s Kristel Penn Nominated for XBIZ’s Exec’s “Community Figure of the Year”

LOS ANGELES, CA - Grooby is proud to announce that their longtime Creative and Editorial Director, Kristel Penn, has been nominated for XBIZ’s Exec Awards. 

“It would have been an honor to be nominated in any category,” explains Penn, “but the ‘Community Figure of the Year’ award holds personal significance to me. Grooby, in many ways, is a small business and can’t compete with the budgets of the big studios, but we utilize all of our resources and pour it back into our performers. This includes concrete things like creating more opportunities for performers shooting with us, but also extends to less measurable efforts like increasing the visibility and acceptance of trans performers in our industry and supporting the trans community as a whole.”

Penn joined Grooby in 2008 when the company was still based in Hawaii. She is also the Executive Producer of the Transgender Erotica Awards, which celebrates the accomplishments of the trans adult industry. 

The annual XBIZ Exec Awards honors the best of the best from the adult business community, celebrating outstanding career achievement across a wide variety of prominent industry roles. Nominees are selected based on a range of success factors including business acumen, community standing and overall leadership.

Voting for the 2021 XBIZ Exec Awards is now open. Industry members may cast their votes here. Winners will be announced early next year. 

Penn adds, “As always, I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to Steven (Grooby). Through Grooby, he has given me a platform to use my voice and encourages me to do as myself. Without him, there would essentially be no ‘Kristel Penn’ as a public figure in our industry. 

To a certain extent, for anyone, it is a privilege to be able to live authentically both personally and professionally. For someone like me who grew up being bullied throughout high school for being gay and just honestly different than my classmates, being nominated for my work with Grooby and in the adult industry feels like being honored for my identity. Win or lose, I am grateful for the nomination and recognition from my colleagues and friends here.”
