The ANME Founders Show is also the stage for the announcement of the Storerotica Awards, hosted by Diamond Products’ Sunny Rodgers. The event took place at the Marriott Burbank Airport on July 16.
Nominations for the award for members of the sex toy industry were done in part via the StorErotica Awards website between April 20 and May 4. The list was then curated by a so-called editorial staff at StorErotica in order to create the Final SE Awards ballot.
Kristofer Kay, Director at StorErotica said: »The industry turned out in full force to support one another at this year’s STOREROTICA Awards. More than anything, this event is meant to celebrate brands and retailers as a unified community, and with each passing show, it feels like we’re achieving that goal. Once again, SE would like to thank Valerie Jones and the entire ANME staff, the staff of the Burbank Marriott Airport Hotel, photographer Farley Magadia, our outstanding hostess, Sunny Rodgers, our nominees and 2018 winners.«
