CYBERSPACE—StorErotica magazine has announced the nominees for its ninth annual StorErotica Awards. Voting will run through June 22 at StorEroticaAwards.com.
The SE Awards will be presented on July 13 during the ANME Founders Show at the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in Burbank, California. Adult industry personaity and PR guru Kelly Shibari returns as the StorErotica Awards hostess.
"I'm so thrilled to be returning as hostess for the Storerotica Awards!" Shibari said. "Last year's show was such a blast. We kept hearing about how everyone appreciated my 'consideration' for their desire to not have a long, drawn-out show. I look forward to celebrating with all the nominees and winners—cocktail in hand, obviously!"
"The world of erotic retail is constantly evolving to adapt to new clientele, and our awards will always strive to match this evolution," said StorErotica Associate Publisher Dave Manack.
