FTM.xxx Returns as 2017 TEA Sponsor

LOS ANGELES — FTM.xxx has announced it is sponsoring the 2017 TEAs and will participate in TEA Con.

"I have been a part of the TEA Awards since its third year,” said FTM.xxx owner Michelle Austin. “I never thought I would be here today, still involved and seeing it grow. Grooby has been amazing to me.

"They’ve allowed me to grow with them and help make the TEA Awards bigger," she continued. "I am so excited to do interviews backstage this year, meet all the new models and have our annual reunion. Dicky and I are glad that we can sponsor the show again.”

Austin will also be the official backstage interviewer at the 2017 TEAs. Videos will be available on TGirls.com after the show. She and several FTM.xxx performers will be exhibiting all day at the second annual TEA Con on Mar. 4 from 1-5 p.m. at the Avalon in Hollywood, Calif.

“We greatly appreciate Michelle and Dicky’s continuous support of the TEAs,” said Grooby’s marketing and editorial director Kristel Penn. “Michelle, as our interviewer, has also been a staple part of our show and we’re thrilled she’ll be back in action, interviewing our winners as they leave the stage.”
