2017 StorErotica Awards Winners Announced

2017 StorErotica Awards Winners Announced

CLEARWATER, Fla. — The winners of the 11th Annual StorErotica Awards were announced the summertime ANME Founders Show in Burbank, Calif. 

This year, Sunny Rodgers, the renowned sexual health educator and brand manager for the Diamond Products family, took the stage as hostess for the evening’s festivities.

“The 11th Annual StorErotica Awards will go down as one of our most memorable events,” said SE’s PR manager, Kristofer Kay. “With more awards, more guests and more esteem shown, to recognize the pleasure product industry is always a thrill. However, this evening was different than years prior simply because along with the celebration came the remembrance of a true legend, Larry Garland.”

In the middle of the ceremony, Mr. Garland — who passed away suddenly last Jan. — was honored by his wife Wanda (now CEO of Eldorado Trading Company) and his son, Preston, in a brief memorial on stage.  

Additionally, for the first time, the trade publication set out on its initial foray into the consumer sector with the “Consumer’s Choice” award, which was presented on behalf of StorErotica’s consumer publication partner, Kinkly.com and their co-founder Nicole Jansen. Vibratex’s ever-popular Cordless Hitachi Magic Wand took this title. 

Kay added, “We congratulate all of this year’s winners once more, and thank all the people who continue to make the adult retail industry better year after year.”
