Los Angeles, CA - Adult performer, activist, and APAC President Mia Lia signed with Ikigai Marketing + PR, announcing Kristel Penn as her official publicist.

“For the longest time I’ve felt compelled to choose one brand identity—do I want to solely be an adult film performer, an activist, or a sex educator? I couldn’t settle on dedicating energy to one identity because without one there wouldn’t be the others,” said Mia Li.  “Arriving at this, I knew that I would have to sign on with a publicist that could handle the multifaceted nature of my brand. Ultimately, I chose Ikigai Marketing.”

“Mia’s desire to embrace and utilize her intersectional identity coincides with a core tenet of ikigai,” added Kristel Penn. “She has already made great strides in her career and I consider it a great privilege to work with her at this specific point in her journey. I’m looking forward to the road ahead as Mia will certainly be someone to watch in and outside of the adult industry.”

Mia Li is an adult film star, cam model, and YouTuber whose politics are greatly informed by her experiences in sex work. Her intersectional activism focuses on serving sex worker and LGBTQ+ communities. An active performer for four years, she is also involved in adult film advocacy—speaking out at local campuses, attending CalOSHA meetings in and out of San Diego, and serving as the current APAC president.

Outside of adult film, Li volunteers at local LGBTQ+ organizations and uses her unique platform on her successful YouTube channel to discuss topics like adult film, sex work, and sexuality. Additionally, she runs workshops on bodily ownership, sexual health communication, consent with medical professionals, healing from sexual violence, and the destigmatization of sex work.

Mia Li’s “Don’t Fake it Till You Make It” Course Debuts at O.school on November 11

APAC President and sex educator Mia Li lends her professional experience to teach a highly anticipated online course on improving pleasure communication this Saturday at O.school.

I'll be streaming live on O.school11_11 8pm-2.jpg

Los Angeles, CA - Adult performer and sex educator Mia Li will be teaching “Don’t Fake it Till You Make It” this Saturday, a livestreamed course on improving communication in the bedroom.

“When I originally signed on at O.school as a pleasure professional, I knew that the work I’d be doing would be geared toward dispelling the myths often perpetuated by pornography,” said Mia Li. “I’ve been working in adult film for four years and I’ve always known that content I was creating was entertainment and not education. Because there are such gaps in sexual education and stigma around having frank conversations about sex, I’m glad that O.school exists to provide inclusive, pleasure-centered, and trauma-informed sexual education.”

Li’s class “Don’t Fake it Til You Make It” will be livestreamed on November 11th from 8pm-9pm PST. During the one hour class, she will discuss how societal expectations and limited models of sexual communication has led to a common practice of faking orgasms, as well as teaching sex language skills and self-exploration practices to combat sexual miscommunication.  

O.school is building a shame-free space by offering pleasure education through live streaming and moderated chat. Visit their calendar to see a full listing of upcoming courses: https://www.o.school/calendar

I’m so appreciative of this opportunity and what it means for the trans adult community. I’ve always wanted to work with jessica and never dreamed it would be possible.”

“When I was first aware of Aubrey Kate, I admired her beauty and tenacity in the industry,” added jessica drake. “As I watched her quickly rise to superstar status, I developed a crush on her of epic proportions, and hoped that she would agree to take part in my showcase. As we planned the scene, I didn't know what to expect, but as things played out, it quickly became clear we had chemistry, and the dynamic between the four of us was incredible. I am so grateful to Aubrey for doing the scene and not only becoming a part of Wicked's history, but also helping me make a very powerful statement in the industry.”

IMG_0787.JPG

2017 has been a year of notable firsts for Presley. Prior to her first topping scenes, she also recently appeared alongside Aubrey Kate and Venus Lux in jessica drake’s highly anticipated showcase, jessica drake is wicked. “jessica drake slid into my DMs and asked me if I would ever consider shooting with her for a project she had coming up. Of course, I said yes, she's fucking jessica drake BUT it was my first time shooting with a cis woman and my first time performing oral on one as well.  I didn’t know what to expect, but let me say - she tastes amazing. It was an amazing experience working with her, Aubrey Kate, and Venus Lux. I completely understand the hype behind everyone after seeing how professional they are and how talented they all are individually.”

“It's crazy to think I've been in this industry for 7-8 years and am JUST NOW doing my first topping scenes,” said Domino Presley. “When I first started doing films, I figured holding out on certain scenes would help with my longevity, and I was right. After shooting my scene with jessica drake for Wicked, I knew it was time to start giving the fans more of myself.”

Soon after, Presley was asked to shoot for TransAngels.com with director Tom Moore. “I was on set filming a scene with a male talent and ended up topping him behind the scenes and Tom asked why I don't top on film,” she explained. “The reason I hadn't before was that I mentally couldn't bring myself to do that, then it was because no one was making any good offers payment wise...TransAngels not only has some of, if not, the best quality trans girls and content, they now have my first ever topping scene.”

She joked, “I have so much more appreciation for the people who are doing the fucking in scenes now. Talk about a workout!”

Domino Presley is a TEA award winning performer who has shot with countless major trans adult studios and appears in a long line of popular DVDs. Visit her official website at TS-DominoPresley.com.

Grooby's Shemale Yum Rebranded as GroobyGirls.com

GroobyGirls.jpg

Grooby, the leader in trans erotica, announces their flagship site, ShemaleYum.com, will be switched over to GroobyGirls.com effective today.

Editor's Note:  For more information about the rebrand, we suggest you read the posted Interview with Steven Grooby at Grooby.com.

Los Angeles, CA – Grooby announced their flagship site, ShemaleYum.com, will be rebranded as GroobyGirls.com starting today.

“Change is good, and we’ve changed our company and sites constantly over the past 20 years,” said Steven Grooby. “Simply renaming a brand that has as much worth as ‘ShemaleYum’ wasn’t something that could be done overnight and without having a proper plan in place, and that plan was to build ‘Grooby’ and ‘GroobyGirls’ brands, which we’ve spent a number of years doing. We’re now in the position where they can replace the original website name.”

ShemaleYum.com launched in 1996 and is the world’s longest running trans adult website, featuring an unprecedented mix of newcomers and top stars annually.  Many of the most popular TS performers today had their first shoots on ShemaleYum, including Vo D’Balm, Domino Presley, Kylie Maria, Wendy Williams, Bailey Jay, and over 1850 different trans women.

GroobyGirls.com launched in 2011 as a promotional site for Grooby models. Each year a limited number of t-shirts are released to the models and fans.  Other GroobyGirls merchandise has included calendars, playing cards, towels, stickers, and tattoos.

The company currently operates over 30 membership sites and produces approximately 50 DVDs a year. Visit the new site at GroobyGirls.com.

When asked if Grooby had plans to change the names of any of their other sites, he stated, “ShemaleYum.com is the biggest and most important of our sites, and this site had to be first otherwise we’d look hypocritical. We’d also look hypocritical if we didn’t re-brand the other sites and we have plans for all of them, we just ask people to be patient. Most of our sites already use ‘tgirls’ (a word which we helped define) or ‘transsexuals’ but for the rest we’ll change, we’ve an amazing domain for Shemale.XXX so watch for that.”

Grooby’s Marketing and Editorial Director Kristel Penn added, “Grooby has been a longstanding ally of the LGBTQ community and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m really excited for this rebrand, especially for our community. Whether you know our company personally or not,  I believe people will see this change is a more accurate reflection of our company ethos.”

Existing affiliates will not need to change their links. Interested affiliates can contact admin@grooby.comdirectly.

All press inquiries can be directed to kristel@grooby.com.

Pop Goes Mary Moody’s Cherry this Friday at Penthouse.com

Penthouse Magazine’s 2016 November ‘Pet of the Month’ Mary Moody appears in her first ever girl/girl scene with 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa, debuting this Friday exclusively at Penthouse.com.

Los Angeles, CA - Penthouse Magazine’s November 2016 ‘Pet of the Month’ Mary Moody appears in her highly anticipated first ever girl/girl scene to be released this Friday at Penthouse.com. Paired with Moody is their 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa.

“The first time I saw Mary Moody I thought she epitomized the perfect Penthouse Pet. Fresh, genuine, incredibly sexy,” stated Penthouse CEO Kelly Holland. “Penthouse has been at the center of defining beautiful, sexy woman for over 50 years and what’s great about being the leading moderator of that conversation right now is that the definition of beautiful has broadened from what it was in earlier decades. Now it’s less about one certain set of measurements and more about the essence of the woman. Mary has that essence, that indefinable ‘something’ that comes through in her photo layouts, but we all recognized how powerful that could be in a sex scene.”  

Performer Mary Moody built a huge, organic following on Chaturbate and leveraged her popularity into becoming one of Penthouse Magazine’s most popular Pets. She was first featured in the November 2016 issue titled, “Bring Back Bush,” an apt description for her pubic hair preference.

Holland continued, “Mary had kissed a girl before…to paraphrase a song…but not really had a sexual experience with a woman.  But she was curious.  It’s an honor for Penthouse to be able to bring that first time experience to camera and to her fans.”

“I had such a wonderful experience doing my cover shoot with Penthouse, I knew they would take great care of me and make the experience amazing,” performer Mary Moody stated. “I had a lot of fun shooting all the soapy car wash scenes with Jenna. She was great! I felt so comfortable with her right away and I feel lucky to have my very first scene with her. I think we had good chemistry on and off set. It went much easier than I expected - I was a little nervous because I wanted to do really well. Jenna really helped me do a great job. It was my very first time with a girl and it was so much fun!”

“I’m so stoked for the release of Mary’s first girl/girl scene,” added co-star Jenna Sativa. “She was such a treat for me. She has soft yummy lips. I can’t wait to kiss her again! I think our fans are going to enjoy our scene.”

Soon after Moody’s first appearance in the magazine, fans sent in letters and emails praising her photospread and asked to see more of her outside of webcamming. Due to the high demand of the request, Penthouse paired her with 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa, stating that Moody’s sapphic debut is one fans will deem a worthy addition to Penthouse.com.
