Kelly Shibari Returns to EXXXOTICA New Jersey

BBW Performer of the Year Appearing at Progressive Artist Fang Ling Lee’s Booth, October 4 – 6!

EDISON, NJ – 2013 EXXXOTICA BBW Performer of the Year Kelly Shibari will be returning to Edison, NJ, to meet fans at EXXXOTICA, October 4 – 6. During the 3-day love and sex expo, Kelly will be signing autographs for the show’s thousands of attendees; fans will also able to purchase Kelly’s DVDs and take photos with her.

Kelly will be appearing at artist Fang Ling Lee’s booth. A progressive artist with a successful niche in the adult industry, Fang is a long time EXXXOTICA exhibitor, who was commissioned earlier this year to design and create the one-of-a-kind, numbered trophies for EXXXOTICA’s fan-vote based awards, The Fannys.

Admirers of Fang’s work spans from private collectors to a wide range of public personalities, including notable names Jenna Haze, Sasha Grey, and the Sorrentinos of Jersey Shore fame. The Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas also includes Fang’s painting, “Pet,” in its permanent collection.

“I’m so pleased to be appearing at Fang Ling Lee’s booth this weekend,” says Kelly. “I was one of the very lucky ones to have an original Fannys trophy on my mantle at home. It only makes sense that I am able to thank my fans in person at her booth; it was because of them that I was able to win the award. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Edison soon!”

Fang Ling Lee’s booth will take over a significant section of the EXXXOTICA show floor at the Edison show; part of the booth will be dedicated to “Erotica with a Cause” fundraiser project XOXO, an Erotic Art Exhibition featuring over 20 international artists, of which Fang is a curator. With proceeds going to help women’s shelters and other women’s causes, XOXO’s current exhibition, “Empowerment vs. Exploitation,” focuses on the “sensuality and seductiveness of the female form, and how it has helped shape and mold the Internet landscape.”

“As a plus size adult entertainer, the internet and porn have definitely been integral to my own journey towards size acceptance and self-confidence,” adds Kelly. “The concept of XOXO’s collection, and its mission to then support and donate to women’s causes, makes me doubly proud to be appearing at Fang Ling Lee’s booth.”

As part of XOXO’s fundraising efforts, EXXXOTICA attendees will be able to enter a raffle to win a Fannys trophy of their own – Fang Ling Lee will present one lucky winner a copy of the iconic trophy, a sensual work of art that perfectly encapsulates the allure of the EXXXOTICA brand.

“It is an honor to announce that award-winning BBW adult star, Kelly Shibari, will be appearing in the XOXO Erotic Art Exhibition at EXXXOTICA,” says Fang. “She is the real-life embodiment of our manifesto as an art collective, which illustrates the empowerment and lure of sensuality by redefining the conventional standards of erotica in art, in which Miss Shibari parallels as the forefront of the BBW progression in the adult industry.”

Held at the New Jersey Convention & Exposition Center in Edison, EXXXOTICA New Jersey will be the 20th show for the largest adult event in the US dedicated to love and sex. This will be the 6th year in a row that the show has been held in Edison, with attendance exceeding 25,000 each year. The largest and longest running consumer adult event in the country will feature over 100 adult stars, vendors, seminars, stage shows, and more.
