Ariana Marie Wins Big At Exotic Dancer Awards

LOS ANGELES — Starlet Ariana Marie is celebrating her 2018 Exotic Dancer Awards win as Adult Movie Entertainer of the Year.

Marie received the honors for “excellence in her film work in addition to her wildly popular live stage performances,” a rep said.

The 21st annual Adult Nightclub and Exotic Dancer Awards ceremony, hosted by comedienne Jessiemae Peluso, unspooled Monday night at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The event was held in conjunction with the Gentlemen’s Club Expo (click here) and ED Publications.

Marie said winning this particular honor has been a goal since she began feature dancing. “I do not think people realize how much work goes into being a great feature entertainer,” she said. “I have so much respect for all my fellow nominees and each and every girl on the road, fighting through all the different challenges we all face.”

She thanked Don Waitt and Kris Kay from ED Publications, her A List Features reps Dave and Frank, and her husband, Jack Spade.

“Sometimes it’s not easy to keep going, night after night, but we do it because we appreciate the investment our agents and clubs have made in us and we have so much love for our faithful fans,” she said. “I want to thank all my amazing fans.”
