Tanya Tate (born 31 March 1979) is an English glamour model, writer, international cosplayer, and pornographic actress.

[2] After beginning her porn career in 2009,[3][4] Tate began contributing to a regular column for British adult magazine Ravers DVD in 2010.

Tate travelled the countryside in a camper van meeting genuine Irish men and filmed both softcore and hardcore pornography.

[17] Since her 2010 San Diego ComicCon convention debut dressed as Emma Frost, Tate has gained the attention of several media outlets, from Life.com, Getty Images, KTLA.com and the Orange County Register to Bleeding Cool, NerdReactor.com, Cosmic Book News and GirlsGoneComic.com, as a cosplayer.

[21] In 2011, as part of her interest in cosplay and in conjunction with that year's ComicCon convention, Tate launched a costume design contest.

[25][26] The second was for the United Kingdom-broadcast Channel 4 television show Date My Porn Star, where a film crew accompanied one of Tate's fans from Britain to her home in Los Angeles to meet the performer.

[32] In March 2014, a collaboration was announced between Tate and the newly launched cougars.xxx website owned by the Luxembourg based Lilly Devine SA company.

CEO Moriam Hassan Balogun commented, "Tanya is not only an established professional with great ideas and a total understanding of what MILF fans want but also a major favourite within the industry".

[35] In 2012, Tate appeared on behalf of the Free Speech Coalition at a press conference for the "No on Government Waste" Committee, which opposed Los Angeles County's Measure B; the mandatory condom and health permit initiative.

[36][irrelevant citation] With regard to Measure B, Tate was quoted in a San Fernando Valley Business Journal article to the effect that she would want whomever she decided to have sex with "to get tested until I felt comfortable to sleep with them without a condom," adding that AIDS Healthcare Foundation president Michael Weinstein (whom the article was about), "should be spending money on treating [AIDS] and educating regular people about how to protect themselves instead of going after a small community that is aware of the risks".

[36] In response to Samuel Jackson's comments about RedTube, the free porn-sharing website, at a May press conference for his 2014 movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Tate said that piracy impacts her directly because she produces her own web content.
