Kelly Shibari and April Flores to Host 2012 BBWFanFest Awards

Voluptuous asian porn and fetish performer Kelly Shibari, along with erotic performer and muse April Flores, have been announced as the official hostesses of the 2012 BBWFanFest Awards on Saturday, July 14 at the Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

BBWFanFest is a weekend-long celebration of plus-size adult industry performers, also known as BBW performers. The convention kicks off with an official party on Thursday, July 12 and continues throughout the weekend with seminars each afternoon, a tradeshow floor consisting of models, vendors and workshops, and parties each evening. From The White Party on Friday night, a post-Awards show afterparty on Saturday, to a pool party on Sunday, the weekend promises to give unprecedented access for fans to interact with their favorite plus-sized performers.

The weekend hits its peak with the 2012 BBWFanFest Awards, which celebrates exceptional performance by plus-sized American pornographic and fetish entertainers. Awards range from Newcomer of the Year and Studio of the Year to the Icon Award and more. A complete list of nominations is available at http://bbwfanfest.com/awardshow.html.

“It is with great pleasure that we are able to have such talented and diverse hostesses on board for BBWFanFest Awards and the Show as a whole, “ said BBWFanFest Marketing Director Kari Anthony. “I think this example of the true professional passion that often is absent in our industry.  It’s flattering that they were dedicated and eager to hop on the BBWFanFest team and efforts to support our cause.  Their contribution to the show is priceless.”

“I am so happy to be attending the first-ever BBW FanFest,” said Flores, who will be in attendance during the convention to meet with fans and sign autographs. “There are so many people who enjoy curvier bodies – this is a great way to bring us together and celebrate body diversity.”

“I’m honored to have been asked,” added Shibari, who will also be available to fans throughout the weekend. “Celebrating the accomplishments of performers in a niche not widely recognized by mainstream adult entertainment has been a long time coming, and I’m ecstatic that April and I have been asked to host and present the first-ever Award Show of its kind.”

BBWFanFest 2012 will be held July 13-15, 2012 at the Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas, NV, with a Kick-Off party on July 12. Tickets for the event and additional information can be purchased by going to http://BBWFanFest.com.
