StorErotica Magazine Announces Nominees for Awards Show

CLEARWATER, Fla.—Nominees for the seventh annual StorErotica Awards, which take place Saturday, July 14, during the ANME Founders Show, have been announced. Hosting the awards this year will be author Dr. Sadie Allison, founder of Tickle Kitty Inc. Voting for the 2013 StorErotica Awards will be accepted online only at StoreroticaAwards.com. This voting website will be live only from May 15 through June 7. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the StorErotica Awards laud those in both the brick-and-mortar storefront, distributing and manufacturing levels. The 10 categories honored this year include Novelty Company of the Year, Distributor of the Year, Fetish Company of the Year and Retailer of the Year (chain locations). This year’s ballot was finalized after a process involving the pre-nomination website, while also gathering input from select industry experts and suggestions by the StorErotica staff.  Host Sadie Allison is an author and publisher of a popular line of fun, informative, how-to sex-help books available to adult retailers. Her best-selling books include Tickle His Pickle, TOYGASMS!, Ride 'Em Cowgirl!, Tickle Your Fancy and her newest book, Tickle My Tush. Each has won the coveted Independent Publisher’s Best Sexuality Book Award (IPPY) and together have sold more than 2 million copies. “I’m very excited to be hosting this year’s StorErotica Awards,” she said. “Celebrating those who continue to make this industry extraordinary is a unique opportunity for me.  I’m looking forward to this special evening.” “Presenting at such a distinguished event such as ANME not only helps reflect the totality of our industry, but also celebrates the continual innovation and camaraderie found within," added StorErotica's Kristofer Kay.  The nominees are:   Novelty Company of the Year California Exotic Novelties  Doc Johnson  Fun Factory  LELO Nasstoys  NS Novelties  Pipedream Products  Sportsheets  Topco  Vibratex    Distributor of the Year  East Coast News  Eldorado  Entrenue  Holiday Products  Honey’s Place  Nalpac  Sexy Living  Sex Toy Distributing  SLS Specialty Williams Trading Company    Fetish Company of the Year  California Exotic Novelties  CB-X (A.L.
