CHATSWORTH, Calif.—With three new award nominations, BzzzBuddies continue to garner praise from everyone who comes into contact with the adorable personal massagers. BzzzBuddies are nominated for Outstanding Product Design for Women by the 2011 AVN “O” Awards. In addition, the playful characters earned two noms from the 2011 StorErotica Awards: Hot Product of the Year and Marketing Campaign of the Year.
Award recipients for the AVN “O” Awards will be revealed July 8, while recipients of the StorErotica’s 5th annual awards will be announced shortly after on July 11.
“The ‘O’ Awards are about celebrating the best the pleasure products industry had to offer in the past year,” said Sherri L. Shaulis, senior editor of Pleasure Products for AVN. “These are companies and products that really pushed the envelope, and took some chances. If these companies and products are indicators of where this industry is headed, then we should all be excited about the future.”
StorErotica Editor Kris Kay said, “Every year, we look for new products that have made an impact in the adult novelty industry. As adorable as they are powerful, the response from erotic retailers made TME Products' BzzzBuddies a natural selection for both our Hot Product of the Year and Marketing Campaign of the Year categories.”
2011 has been a big year for BzzzBuddies in the media spotlight. The anime-inspired massagers kicked off the year by being declared a “Best Buy” by Gawker Media’s Fleshbot.com contributor Sailor Ripley in her “Top Ten Sex Toys of 2010” column. She wrote, “Like a Hello Kitty vibe on steroids, we found the Frisky to be super-fun … Easy to use, plastic and punchy, Frisky's interchangeable caps and straightforward mechanics made it one of our favorites for the year.”
Geek chic television station G4TV featured BzzzBuddies in its anti-Valentine’s Day 2-hour special. To watch a clip of G4TV host Blair Herter and model Chanel Preston playing with several BzzzBuddies, visit YouTube.com/user/BzzzBuddies.
