Inna Innaki Discusses Growth of SugarBabes.tv & Giving Back |
A version of this feature appears in the March issue of AVN magazine. Click here for the digital edition. LOS ANGELESâInna Innaki tells AVN her site SugarBabes.tv is âlike a dream come true.â âIn the beginning, I never even imagined that the website will be so successful, but even in our hardest times I never stopped believing that we will succeed and here we are,â says Innaki, who launched SugarBabes with her longtime partner Teo Sirina in 2017. Now the site is one of the most unique online destinations in adult featuring a treasure trove of quality hardcore content shot primarily in Innakiâs home country of Greece. âWeâre becoming more and more popular each year and because of that, I want to thank our fans for all of the support during the years,â Innaki adds. The Greek superstar reveals that SugarBabes already has more than 100 sex scenes live on the site with 120 and counting that have yet to be published. âAt the moment we have around 87 porn stars that are already part of our launched movies and even now during the pandemic we are recruiting new faces,â Innaki adds. She says Greece continues to be in lockdown due to the worldwide health crisis. âUnfortunately, we can't work as usual! In the first lockdown, we didn't shoot even one scene, but when they open for a while we start to shoot a lot so we can have more content in case that happens again. Of course, with an extra test for COVID-19,â Innaki explains. âThe situation is really bad at the moment in Greece. We are on the third lockdown and to get out for pharmacy or grocery people must send SMSâand you have only an hour to go outside!â In spite of those logistical challenges, Innaki launched her own SugarBabes magazine three months ago and already is on the second issue. âWe weren't sure how will go because now everyone is online and even many magazines stopped their publishing,â she says. âFor our happiness, we decide to put inside a coupon code which gives you free access for one month in SugarBabes.tv. This makes people more excited to continue buying and because of our success, we decided to give part of the profit for charity. âAfter the sales of the first issue we buy and share 10,000 masks for free and we will continue to help as much as we can with every profit we make.â Indeed, the pink, white & blue SugarBabes brand is going strongâtheir online store features a full line of womenâs and menâs apparel with items such as bikinis, hoodies, tank-tops, trucker caps and even masks. âIn the beginning, we start the brand only for us and our crew but after a lot of requests from our followers we decide to make a store,â Innaki says. âAt the moment we have a lot of purchases and all the time we try to create something new and interesting for the people!â And the people of Greece have responded. When Innaki received a nomination for Best Foreign-Shot All-Girl Sex Scene for the 2021 AVN Awards, the news went viral in her country. âThey were so excited to hear I was nominated for the AVN Awards. The media published it on all big websites, TV shows, radio channels, newspapers, and magazines. I am really grateful for their support!â Innaki says. âTherefore I really feel sorry that I didn't bring them at least one award. They support me from the beginning of my career and every time I am even more motivated to win at least one AVN award.â In the nominated scene, Innaki paired off with Sofia Pavlidi for a scintillating encounter for the SugarBabeâs popular âGreek Taxiâ series in which the two locked lips in the back of a taxi. âIt was really an honor for me to be nominated for the AVN Awards again. I feel really exciting, especially when we speak about girl/girl scene because I really enjoy it!â Innaki continues. âBefore the video, we were able to get to know each other, and like this, it was easier for both of us to feel more comfortable during the movie and the chemistry was amazing! I believe my experience on the girl/girl scenes helped her to feel more secure in her first scene for SugarBabes.tv." Innaki introduced the âGreek Taxiâ series about a year ago. âActually the idea of it is really funny,â she says. âWe have a friend who is a taxi driver, and at that time he was telling us stories of his experience in the taxi, so we decide to actualize these stories in erotic movies.â   The approach seems to be working as Innaki reports that every month they are adding more subscribers to SugarBabes.tv while also retaining their current subscription base. As she looks toward the rest of 2021, Innaki says the best is yet to come on SugarBabes.tv. âOn their way are a lot of new big and different projects,â Innaki reveals. âAfter the pandemic is over we plan to shoot new movies with famous actors and surprise our followers even more with different content.â Photography by Dimitris Karampetsos
