LOS ANGELES—Kelly Shibari is celebrating a repeat win for Best BBW Performer at the 22nd Annual NightMoves Awards. The plus size beauty can also be seen in New Sensation’s Best BBW Release-winning film, Big Girls Are Sexy 4.
“I’m incredibly honored to win Best BBW Performer again at this year’s NightMoves,” said Shibari. “To have my fans take time out of their day to show their support with their votes means so much to me, and inspires me to keep promoting plus size sexuality and confidence. Thanks, everyone!”
The NightMoves Awards also bestowed Shibari with its Triple Play Award, awarded to an adult industry member exhibiting success in three or more fields. In Shibari’s case, the award honors her work as a performer, director/producer and public relations/marketing specialist for the adult industry.
“No one was more deserving of this prestigious award this year than Kelly Shibari,” said NightMoves' national features and DVD editor/reviewer, Art Koch. “A performer, publicist, writer, director – she wears many hats and wear them all to perfection. As if that isn't enough, this amazing woman is also a spokesperson for several products as well. It was our honor to present Kelly with this award."
Shibari added, “Receiving the Triple Play Award was completely unexpected. My move into PR and marketing was a natural evolution, which rose from the lack of agents and publicists which specifically handled plus size performers. Doing it for myself five years ago, and having the industry change their opinion of me as ‘just another porn girl trying something new’ into a respected industry colleague with potential for tenure, has allowed me to evolve and stay in an industry I love. I’m very humbled to have my work be recognized by NightMoves®, and to receive this award.”
Kelly is passionate about introducing body positive messages into the media spotlight, and is highly accessible. She regularly chats with fans and industry peers via her social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook.
