EDISON, N.J. — Kelly Shibari will be returning to Edison, N.J., to meet fans at Exxxotica Oct. 4-6.
During the expo, she will be signing autographs for the show’s attendees. Fans will also able to purchase her DVDs and take photos with her.
Shibari will be appearing at artist Fang Ling Lee’s booth.
Fang is a long-time Exxxotica exhibitor, who was commissioned earlier this year to design and create the trophies for the show’s awards, the Fannys.
Fang’s work spans from private collectors to a wide range of public personalities, including notable names such as Jenna Haze and Sasha Grey.
“I’m so pleased to be appearing at Fang Ling Lee’s booth this weekend,” Shibari said. “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.”
Part of Fang Ling Lee’s booth will be dedicated to the Erotica with a Cause fundraiser project XOXO, an exhibition featuring more than 20 international artists.
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,” Shibari said. “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, attendees will be able to enter a raffle to win a Fannys trophy.
"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,” Lee said. “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."
