Violet Monroe to Discuss Identity and Consumer Demand at XBIZ Show

CYBERSPACE - Industry veteran Violet Monroe is slated as a panelist for “Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content” as part of the XBIZ Show.

“As someone who has been in the adult industry for over 11 years now, I’ve built a lot of my career on creating content that doesn’t necessarily align with my own identity,” says Monroe. “Porn is about fantasy, illusion, and it’s something I’ve had to consciously navigate to be successful without compromising myself. I’m excited to discuss this topic and share my experiences alongside my fellow presenters.” 

“Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content” will be hosted virtually on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, from 1-2pm PST. 

The workshop description is as follows: 

Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content

The rapid ascendancy of performer-generated content has blurred cisgender norms and the once-rigid lines that defined straight, gay, bi and trans content. Greater acceptance has led to a unique consumer demand. Learn what it takes to come up with genre-defying concepts that better suit the needs of a diverse audience.

Violet Monroe entered the adult industry in 2009, transitioning from a career in mainstream modeling. Since then, she has worked for notable companies such as Legal Porno, Kink, Evil Angel, Hustler, Penthouse, Brazzers, Digital Playground, Naughty America, and many others. 

She also appears in multiple episodes of Wood Rocket’s “Ask a Porn Star” online series and participated in their panel at the AVN Expo in 2017.

Kristel Penn Hosting Free Model Wellness Workshop Today at YNOT Summit

LOS ANGELES, CA – Grooby’s Kristel Penn will be hosting a free workshop from 4-4:50pm PST today titled, “Model Wellness: How and Where to Get Help When You Need It” as part of the online YNOT Summit.

“The purpose of this free workshop is to help those in the adult industry, whether performers or producers, find competent and affirming mental health care services,” explains Penn. “A complaint I hear often from our community is folks wanting to see a therapist but feeling like the process is extremely confusing and stressful only to have them receive subpar care. This workshop considers how the unique intersectional identities of the adult industry community affect how seeking mental health care is navigated and how it also informs the type of care people might need.”

Penn is Grooby’s longtime Creative and Editorial Director. She is an outspoken adult community advocate and hosts educational workshops across the country to help destigmatize the adult industry and the consumption of porn. Previous speaking engagements include the Contemporary Relationships Conference, Catalyst Con, Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit, Kink’s educational series, YNOT Summit, and more.

“Model Wellness: How and Where to Get Help When You Need It” is a 50-minute educational workshop. Below is the workshop description:

Navigating the mental health system can be a labyrinth filled with confusing technical jargon, safety and privacy concerns, plus the fear of being judged and discriminated against because of your profession. Not to mention the extra task of trying to find a competent and affirming therapist who understands the unique concerns of being a sex worker. In this 50-minute workshop, adult industry advocate and MA in Psychology student, Kristel Penn, shares the 411 of different mental health services and its pros/cons (e.g. the difference between therapy and life coaching, different types of providers), finding a sex worker affirming provider, interviewing and selecting a potential professional, and navigating the system with/without health insurance. 

Those interested in attending may register for free at YNOTSummit.com.

Foxxy Shares Offers a Glimpse into her Life in Grooby Girls Magazine

LAS VEGAS, NV - Trans industry icon Foxxy is featured in the latest issue of Grooby Girls Magazine, sharing a photo diary of her life as an adult star and juggling her responsibilities as a parent. 

“It was a great opportunity given to me by Grooby to share an exclusive look at my day-to-day life,” says Foxxy. “Not many people know the double life I live and how challenging each day can be. In the end, love my career and would never change it for anything. It’s also very rewarding to know how I’ve changed these kids’ lives and watch them grow.  I thank everyone for the years of support, the fans who keep me afloat, and those who have been there for me.  Thank you Grooby for the great article and thanks for the wonderful years we continue to work together.

“We were honored that Foxxy wanted to give our readers a glimpse into her life,” adds Grooby Girls Magazine, Kristel Penn. “As consumers, they only see a very small fragment of a performer’s identity and purposely so. But performers, like any public figures, have to navigate the complexities of real-life just like the rest of us. I think any opportunity to diversify how performers, and particularly trans performers, are represented in media is very important to our communities.”

“A Day in the Life of Foxxy” can be read exclusively in Grooby Girls Magazine #006 at Grooby.com. 

Foxxy is an icon in the trans adult industry and a TEA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. She first appeared on Grooby’s flagship site, GroobyGirls.com, back in 2004, and is a pioneer of the trans genre. Her illustrious career includes a long list of scenes from every major trans adult studio in the industry and steadily continues to this day. She’s also been featured on Gigolos, American Working Girl, A Madam’s Heaven and Hell, Vivid Radio, and many more. 

Most recently, Foxxy appears in Hustler Magazine’s “Ask a Trans Woman” series where she answers candid reader questions about being transgender. The article can be accessed directly here: https://hustlermagazine.com/articles/ask-a-trans-woman/

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.”

Erotic Photographer Holly Randall Featured on Cover of Award-Winning Magazine

MIAMI, FL - World-famous photographer and podcast host Holly Randall is the latest celebrity featured on the cover of a renowned international magazine.

ASN Lifestyle Magazine is the world’s most popular digital publication tailored to those in open and swinging lifestyles, which includes a growing network within the adult entertainment industry. The magazine collaborates with educators, entertainers, and celebrities like actor Richard Ruccolo and his wife and model Lauren Ruccolo, as well as Holly and Michael Bell from Playboy’s Swing, for a growing international audience.

“Our readers are curious about alternative relationships and lifestyles, and that includes the porn industry,” said Michael Ramos, ASN’s co-founder. “Featuring Holly Randall — someone who’s very well-respected in the adult industry — on our recent cover is an extra way to show how far-reaching our magazine has become.”

In Randall’s ASN exclusive, she’s interviewed by former colleague Lexi Sylver, the erotica author of Mating Season: Erotic Short Stories. Sylver wrote and creatively produced various projects with Randall, such as Digital Playground’s Flesh: House of Hedonism and The Fetish Diaries. “Many call Holly the ‘Best in the Business,’ and it’s no secret why,” says Sylver. “I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing her skills and approach firsthand.”

In ASN Lifestyle Magazine’s November feature, Randall talks about her journey from helping her mother, famous photographer Suze Randall, to doing erotic photography and porn production for top brands like Playboy, Twistys, Penthouse, and her personal website, HollyRandall.com. “At first, I was pretty much just copying my mom’s style and trying to carry on the Suze legacy in a way that her fans wanted,” says Randall. “But as time has gone on, I started getting into directing video — something she was never big on — so I think I definitely carved out my own niche in that aspect.”

Randall has also been interviewed for major shows on CBS, CNN, Netflix, and other networks. Her podcast, Holly Randall Unfiltered, has become the #1 show in the adult industry, with over 1 million downloads. As a podcast host and producer, she interviews top performers like Abella Danger, Madison Ivy, Dani Daniels, and Asa Akira.

Holly Randall has also been nominated as Best Adult Industry Photographer for the upcoming 2021 ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards, set to take place September 17–19, 2021, in Orlando, Florida.

Founded in 2014 by Michael and Sheri Ramos, ASN Entertainment, LLC is a partner of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF). ASN Lifestyle Magazine is a taste-maker, an arbiter of style, and is at the forefront of trends in social behavior, political, sexual, and economic freedom.
