BOSTON—Academy Award nominees always state that just being nominated by their peers is the greatest honor they can receive—besides winning, of course—but the secret reality is that the biggest perk nominees look forward to each year are the VIP gift bags made available to both nominees and presenters. VIP gift bags are the ultimate product placement for those looking to get their upscale goodies into the hands of A-list stars, and annually feature some of the world’s top brands. This year, however, female nominees and presenters will have the unprecedented opportunity to receive two very special offerings, courtesy of Sssh.com and The Screaming O, which have joined forces to create VIP gift bags that will be handed out to female Oscar nominees and presenters at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony.
Sssh is including a VIP membership card for one free year of membership to Sssh.com, the highly popular erotic website created by women for women that has been featured in Time Magazine and on ABC’s Nightline.
“Sssh.com offers an extensive, evolving source of information and entertainment from bold and brassy to tender and traditional,” wrote YNOT editor Kathee Brewer in a recent review of the site. “Providing a safe place for women to explore their sexuality, the company continues to grow the website's scope in order to reach a wider audience of women interested in high quality, intelligent erotic content. Because no woman is an island, Sssh.com embodies a community where women can relax, enjoy, learn and feel good about being sexual, sensual beings without sacrificing personal ethics.”
Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree commented, “I feel honored that we were asked to participate in the Academy Awards luxury gift bag give-aways. Being joined by Screaming O with their contribution added a sexy and elegant touch. It’s great to see the line between adult and mainstream becoming less of a barrier between aspects of our culture. I also want to extend our best wishes to the nominees and best of luck for a win!”

It is the company’s hugely popular Sexy Mirror Compact, a chic and discreet makeup compact mini case with super-powered, multi-function hidden Bullet that adds a stylish stimulation to your makeup bag with your new favorite sexcessory.
