Kelly Shibari Is Overloaded Garners XBIZ, AVN Nominations
Kelly Shibari’s freshman offering, “Kelly Shibari is Overloaded,” has
garnered 1 XBIZ and 2 AVN Award nominations for the Asian BBW performer and her
distributors, Monarchy and Exile.
The DVD combines an
all-fan blowbang/bukkake based on the Japanese victory in the Women's World Cup
last summer with additional group scenes for the busty Japanese-American
performer. The resulting DVD, Kelly Shibari is Overloaded, contains a number of firsts on camera
for Shibari, including anal and double-vag creampies, in addition
to it being her first fan event.
The title has been
nominated for Specialty Release of the Year by XBIZ; for AVN, it has been
nominated for both Best Overall Marketing Campaign (Individual Project) and
Best Specialty Release (Other Genre). Both awards shows will take place in
January 2013.
“I’m so thrilled that
the very best of the industry’s professionals have decided to give my film a
nod,” said Shibari. “’Kelly Shibari is
Overloaded’ has become my ‘love song’ to my fans, quite literally, and I’m
extremely humbled that it has gotten this sort of recognition.”

pioneer in the BBW category. This is a must-have for every store; customers
love Kelly, and the orders and reorders are proof of that.”
