Kelly Shibari Honored at 3rd Annual Inked Awards |
LOS ANGELES—Kelly Shibari adds to her growing number of accolades, receiving BBW of the Year honors at the 2014 Inked Awards. The Inked Awards are an off-shoot of InkedAngels.net, the leading consortium created to give recognition to tattooed adult performers, administered and voted upon by a select panel of judges. This is the first year the alt-core industry news site has offered a BBW category at its awards. “I’m honored to win BBW of the Year at this year’s Inked Awards,” said Kelly. “So many performers now showcase their personal style with skin art, and fans and critics are embracing tattoos as a gorgeous method of self-expression. I’m thrilled to have been included in the nominations, particularly for their inaugural BBW category, and doubly thrilled to have received this honor from the Inked Angels reviewers and staff. Thank you so much!” Following a round of nominations in September, the winners of the 2014 Inked Awards were announced Thursday, November 6. The awards are presented by Cam4 and sponsored by Alt Girl Media, Chaturbate, and Pipedream Toys. For a complete list of winners, click here. "Winning an Inked Award isn't just about great sex performance, but encompasses every aspect of a performer, from non-sex acting in a scene, to being an all around professional in the adult industry,” said Bill The Hobbyist, Inked Angels' Senior Reviewer. “Kelly Shibari delivers all of this and more above so many others, and it is a combination of these that she was Inked Angels/Inked Awards’ 2014 BBW of the Year. A perfect winner.” “Kelly was selected not only for her stunning beauty and awesome tats, but also for her great performances on screen,” added Jason, owner of Inked Angels. “She gives her all in each and every scene, and is truly a pleasure to watch!” Kelly Shibari was also recently honored with a repeat win for Best BBW Performer at the 22nd Annual NightMoves Awards, as well as 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 professional for the adult industry. The plus-size beauty’s on-camera performance can be seen in New Sensation’s Big Girls Are Sexy 4, which won Best BBW Release honors at NightMoves this year. The multiple award-winning BBW adult superstar and sexual figurehead for chubby Asian girls everywhere made sexy pop culture media site Fleshbot’s Top Ten Crush Object List in early 2014. The list includes adult performers Bonnie Rotten and Asa Akira, as well as mainstream icons Miley Cyrus, Tina Fey, Emily Ratajkowski, and Lizzy Caplan. The Japanese performer with hazel green eyes, featured as the cover model for the September homepage at SheVibe.com, continues to push the boundaries, and win the hearts. Kelly is passionate about introducing body positive messages into the media spotlight. The highly accessible Kelly regularly chats with fans and industry peers via her social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook.
