Kelly Shibari Tapped To Host StorErotica Awards

BURBANK, Calif.—Kelly Shibari has been chosen to host of the 8th Annual StorErotica Awards, taking place Sunday, June 13 at the Marriott Burbank Airport. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the StorErotica Awards honor pleasure product companies in the retail storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels of health and sexuality products. "I'm incredibly thrilled to have been asked to host and present this year's StorErotica Awards," Shibari said. "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. Of course, the open bar certainly doesn't hurt either! I'm really looking forward to spending a fun evening with everyone." "Dynamic, engaging and industry savvy … having Kelly as our hostess for this year's gala elevates the 2014 StorErotica Awards to an entirely new level,” said StorErotica Editor Kristofer Kay. “A multifaceted talent, Kelly's recognition is readily apparent, but aside from her popularity, her personable approach promises that the evening will be entertaining for all those in attendance." The 15 categories honored this year for the 2014 StorErotica Awards include Novelty Company of the Year, Distributor of the Year, Fetish Company of the Year, Retailer of the Year (chain locations), and more. New divisions joining the StoreErotica Awards in 2014 include Foreign Manufacturer of the Year, Male Pleasure Product of the Year, Body Care Line of the Year and Retail Education of the Year.
