Julie Simone Scores a Big Win at Feminist Porn Awards

(New York, NY) Last Saturday night in a church in Toronto, Canada, the Feminist Porn Awards were held. Julie Simone took home her very first FPA by winning the statue for Hottest Kink Movie for her movie “Vicious Strap-on Bitches”. Julie received five nominations this year for her films “Babes in Bondage 4”, “Julie Simone Is a Dominatrix”, “Submissive Slut”, “Vicious Strap On Bitches” and also for her pay site, www.juliesimone.com. Julie was previously awarded an honorable mention in 2010 for her short film and pro-blowjob PSA "Cocksucker".

“After getting nominated so many times over the years and never winning, this feels good; it feels really good.” says Julie Simone. "This film is packed with special moments and firsts—my 1st strap on scene as a top, my 1st and only strap on scene as a bottom, Vannah Sterling's 1st scene as a top. Everyone in this movie was great and it's nice to see aggressive girl on girl sex being recognized.”

Julie Simone’s title, “Bound Rubber Dolls”, will be the 1st one released through her new distributor, Pure Play Media, on Thursday, May 3rd. Her second release, “Femdom Fatale”, will be released May 31st. She will be performing and throwing a DVD release party to celebrate on June 2nd at Smack! NYC. Julie recently completed filming of “Dominatrix Diaries”, a reality web series that will air on Blip TV, which features the stories of first time clients and professional Dominatrices. The first episode will air July 9th.
