Ernie otherwise known as Ecstatic had been on the skirts of the industry for a couple of years, as an original member of Hungangels.com, and early social media before he turned his hand to producing content for models, for their own sites. He had a brief spell producing for Grooby, but he’ll be mainly remembered and loved for his own site, PILadyboy.com which specialised in Filipino trans girls, giving them a platform and a voice – as well as his partnerships with many girls including Krissy4U, Wendy Summers and his good friend Tempest (TS-Rockdolls.com) among others. With a technical background, he was well placed to help girls get their sites launched and host them at a fraction of what other companies would have offered – and he brought his friendship and love of all things trans, as a free bonus! As well as hosting, he was involved in the webmastering of the site, marketing and all the small things that come from digital media sales.

Ernie, along with Tempest were regular sponsors and guests at the TEA Awards where they had many friends, or became friends with everyone they met. Ernie was genuinely, and I don’t believe I could find anyone who would disagree, one of the nicest people you could meet, with a kind word for everyone. Ernie wasn’t in the industry so much as to make money for himself, but to help many models get their sites off the ground and running, when they otherwise wouldn’t have been able. He seemed to enjoy being part of the process. I know that there are many who are grateful to him for his suppport and friendship over the years.

I’d been aware Ernie had been ill for some time, and Tempest informed me in early November 2023 that he’d passed.

I hope that Ernie’s life outside of the character we met and loved, was as happy and as joyous as he seemed. He was a unique individual, who was at the earliest onset of the internet and subsequently the birth of digital trans porn, and we don’t see people like him any longer in this industry. I’ll cherish his memory of meeting the man, and knowing how many people he touched, over 25 years – and send my love and respects to those who knew him more than I, and have lost a friend.

RIP Ernie/Ecstatic.

I just got the news
I am saddened to hear of your journey’s end
In this world
I have thought of you often
As I always will
In this world
But I know that there are golden shores
Far beyond where we have walked
In this world
And some day I will see your smiling face
Your radiant joyous stride as you greet me
Far far beyond,
This world
RIP Ernie
Love always – Tempest
