Lifetime Achievement Joanna Jet
Joanna Jet is the 2010 Tranny Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.
This award is so deserving to so many people who have helped made our industry what it is today. Previous winners Meghan Chevalier and Olivia Love, were pioneers in the early 90's TS video revolution with more scenes between them than practically all the scenes put together by today's stars. Joanna Jet was on the next wave. The first time I saw anything from Joanna were some amateur photos she sent in of herself for publication on Shemale Yum. This was in about 1996-7, and she was still a crossdresser and before Shemale Yum even shot it's own content (submissions only). She then went on to win our first banner design competition, and that banner can still be seen in some places. Over the following years as Joanna transitioned she done a number of shoots for Shemale Yum including most memorably for me, an early Allanah Starr shoot as well as with a post-op model and another hot New York transsexual model - all these scenes were shot by Tony Vee in NYC. If anyone was ever meant to be a transsexual pornstar, Joanna Jet was. Joanna relocated for a time to Los Angeles and ran her video/DVD production company, Jetset productions, releasing some of the highest quality and hardest content of it's time and I thoroughly recommend you trying to see it. She worked for many producers including Joey Silvera and some of her most intense scenes were with the other blonde bombshell, Vicki Richter. Joanna has always been control as producer, director, model and designer of her content and in the late 00's took a sabbatical from performing to concentrate on the production of her non-TS content in the UK. Joanna Jet is a highly intelligent individual whom before her transition into porn, was a successful business person and she's taken that into her adult career in the marketing of her image. She excels at porn because she's simply, really, really into it. She's a perfectionist who stands behind herself and her product. She's never really been given the credit for being one of the first TS producers (if not the first) who genuinely did the direction and production. She's also never been properly credited with being instrumental in getting AVN to recognise transsexuals for the Best Transsexual Performer Award, something she has yet to win herself. Joanna made a modeling comeback for http://www.shemale-pornstar.com in 2010 and it was very highly received and welcome. She also, along with Liberty Harkness became part of the Grooby production crew. I love hanging out with her as she we've similar tastes in a lot of things, other than the adult industry. TS models working today, owe Joanna a debt of thanks for being so outspoken to the media about transsexual porn and for being so tenacious with getting our scene recognised. Joanna wasn't able to be at the awards due to a shooting conflict in Europe but she did pre-record her speach. http://www.tgirls.com/videos/joanna-...eech-4171.html I hope everyone will join me in congratulating Joanna Jet and I look forward to seeing what she does in the future. |

This is a very nice post, seanchai.
I think it is missing one thing, though, and that is a mention of the tremendously high aesthetic quality of Joanna's photographic work. One might even say that she has elevated her craft to true art direction. This is really evident in the photos of her that she has taken (often by Liberty), as well as in the photos she takes of others. Independent of their subject matter (i.e, as porn), they demonstrate the work of a consummate craftswoman. |

Thank you
Hello Everyone,
There is only one way that I can start this post and that is by saying a very big thank you for each and everyone of the kind words that are being posted on all of the major forums, it means a great deal. In over a decade in this industry, I have had everyone from individuals, corporations and even governments try to put me out of business and if I have learnt one thing from this, it's that if you truly love what you do and never cease in striving to improve at delivering you best, there will always be a place for you ;-) What makes this lifetime achievement extra special is that it comes from the only person that has shared my career journey from the very beginning: Senchai. There have been great times, there have been very bad times but right now the future looks rosy and as this year will show, my career is far from over! Kisses, Joanna xxx
