Hosted by Dr. Sadie Allison, leading retail trade publication to once again produce annual awards at the ANME Founders Show, the industry’s premier B2B Convention, July 13-15, 2013. 

Reflecting the best in the adult storefront sector, the nominees for the 7th Annual STOREROTICA Awards have been selected.  Winners will be announced at an industry gala on evening of Sunday, July 14, during the semi-annual ANME Founders Show in Burbank, California.   For the third straight year, STOREROTICA Magazine, the leading, national trade publication for the owners and operators of adult retail stores and lingerie boutiques, has partnered with the producers of the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo (ANME) as event host for the 2013 STOREROTICA Awards Show. Held at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport on July 13-15, the annual ANME Founders Show will once again feature the top brands in the adult toy and novelty industry. Hosting the awards this year will be author Dr. Sadie Allison, founder of Tickle Kitty Inc. 

Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the STOREROTICA Awards lauds those in both the brick and mortar storefront, distributing and manufacturing levels. The 10 categories honored this year include, “Novelty Company of the Year,” “Distributor of the Year”, “Hot Product of the Year” and “Retailer of the Year” (chain locations), among others. This year’s ballot was finalized after a process involving the pre-nomination website, while also gathering input from select industry experts and suggestions by the STOREROTICA staff. 

Host Sadie Allison is author and publisher of the popular line of fun, informative, how-to sex-help books available to adult retailers. Her bestselling books include "Tickle His Pickle," "TOYGASMS!," "Ride 'Em Cowgirl!," "Tickle Your Fancy" and her newest book, "Tickle My Tush." Each has won the coveted Independent Publisher’s Best Sexuality Book Award (IPPY) and together have sold more than two million copies. Allison is a regular guest on TV and radio, including Tyra, BetterTV, E!, Discovery Health and Dr. Drew’s Loveline. She’s a sought-after speaker and is regularly quoted in Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Men’s Health, WebMD and iVillage.com.  “I’m very excited to be hosting this year’s STOREROTICA Awards,”  says Allison.  “Celebrating those who continue to make this industry extraordinary is a unique opportunity for me.  I’m looking forward to this special evening.” 

“Presenting at such a distinguished event such as ANME not only helps reflect the totality our industry, but also celebrates the continual innovation and camaraderie found within,"  adds STOREROTICA's Kristofer Kay.
