BURBANK, Calif.—Kelly Shibari returns as host of the 9th Annual StorErotica Awards, held Monday, July 13 at the Marriott Burbank Airport. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the StorErotica Awards honor the best of the best in the retail storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels of health and sexuality products.
"I'm incredibly honored to have been asked to return to host this year's StorErotica Awards," said Kelly. "I had such a fun time last year, and everyone seems to have appreciated my ‘consideration’ for their desire to not have a long, drawn-out show. To be asked back means I guess I did something right! As a fan of sex toys, lingerie, and adult novelties in general, being able to honor and celebrate this year's winners is going to be an absolute blast. I promise, this year will be just as silly as last year!”
"We're delighted to have Kelly back to host our awards for a second year," says Kristofer Kay, PR Manager for StorErotica magazine. "As an expert in the adult retail sector, her credentials are more than qualified; but beyond her professionalism, Kelly possesses a genuine warmth and engaging personality, which appeals to our audience of industry professionals. Having her there will make for a memorable evening for StorErotica and ANME attendees."
The 15 categories honored this year at the 2015 StorErotica Awards will include "Novelty Company of the Year," "Distributor of the Year," "Fetish Company of the Year" and "Retailer of the Year,” “New Product of the Year, and more. This year's final ballot was finalized after the pre-nomination process was complete along with gathering the opinions from a select panel of industry experts and suggestions by the StorErotica staff.
