We were informed on 5th May 2020 that model Tiny Woods had died apparently of an asthma attack. We have no further details at this time.
Tiny has only appeared in a few shoots, debuting in 2015 but not returning until 2019 but was a popular model on Black-Tgirls.com and had planned new shoots in 2020.
Our respects to her friends and family.
She was 32 yrs old when she died.

” Aries was more to me than a model in front of my camera. She was a good close friend. This senseless killing has left a void in my heart. I will deeply miss our long phone conversations. I will miss our late night hangouts where we would just sit in my car and just talk about life, and the struggle. The thing i am going to miss the most is that smile of yours. Rest In Paradise Aries.. “
KilaKali – photographer/producer.
There is very little information on who or why Aries was shot to death on Oct 14th. The suspect was arrested at the scene but further details have not been forthcoming.
She was a popular model on Black-Tgirls, having just made a fantastic return after 5 years, and a friend to our producer KilaKali.
We pass on our regrets and sympathies to her friends and family.
Aries. Shot to death. Aged 30

Michelle Washington, who performed under Ivy, and Nyobi Khan was shot to to death in Philadelphia on Sunday May 19th. There have yet to be arrests.
I’d met Ivy personally, she was active from 1999-2008 as an adult performer and model, and highly sought after appearing in Grooby websites and DVD productions as well a number of scene’s on Kink’s ‘TS Seduction’ and in Evil Angel releases under titles by Joey Silvera.
She appeared in her first shoot with us in 1999, when Tony Vee worked with her in NYC … followed by Frank working with her in Vegas, and after she was in California for a while, Buddy Wood worked with her last in 2008. She was a hugely popular model and performer for her good looks, sassy attitude and ability to perform well and realistically one of the early genuine black trans stars who appeared over multiple companies, for a long period.
Although I hadn’t seen her in years, she would pop up
On behalf of Grooby, I want to wish condolences and love to her friends and family.
Ivy – Dec 1978 – May 19th 2019 – aged 40 – murdered.

Cashmere – Jan 1997-18th May 2019 – aged 22 – murdered.
RIP
Sadly, I was shown the news this morning that Black-Tgirls model, Cashmere had been shot and murdered in Dallas, on Saturday.
You may have seen viral video last month where Cashmere was brutally beaten by a group of men. It’s not yet know if this incident is related to her murder.
Cashmere debuted on Black-Tgirls in summer of 2018 and returned in March 2019 in her latest scene – one of our most popular debut models of last year. Everyone at Grooby is shocked and saddened to hear of her death and we pass our love and compassion to her friends and family.
Cashmere – Jan 1997-18th May 2019 – aged 22 – murdered.
RIP
