Julie Simone Wins 2012 Feminist Porn Award

NEW YORK—Last week in a church in Toronto, Canada, the Feminist Porn Awards ceremony was held. Julie Simone took home her very first Feminist Porn Award, winning the statue for Hottest Kink Movie for her movie Vicious Strap-On Bitches. Simone received five nominations this year: nods for Babes in Bondage 4, Julie Simone Is a Dominatrix, Submissive Slut, and Vicious Strap-On Bitches, and also one for her paysite, JulieSimone.com. Julie was previously awarded an honorable mention in 2010 for her short film and pro-blowjob PSA “Cocksucker.” “After getting nominated so many times over the years and never winning, this feels good; it feels really good,” said Julie Simone. "This film is packed with special moments and firsts—my first strap-on scene as a top, my first and only strap-on scene as a bottom, Vannah Sterling's first scene as a top. Everyone in this movie was great and it's nice to see aggressive girl-on-girl sex being recognized.” Julie Simone’s Bound Rubber Dolls will be the first one released through her new distributor, Pure Play Media, on Thursday, May 3. Her second release, Femdom Fatale, will street May 31. She will be performing and throwing a DVD release party to celebrate on June 2 at Smack! NYC. Simone recently completed filming of Dominatrix Diaries, a reality web series that will air on Blip TV, which features the stories of first-time clients and professional dominatrices. The inaugural episode will air July 9.
