LOS ANGELES – Photographer and filmmaker Tammy Sands has crowned Vanessa Veracruz the 2014 Delight of the Year for her website, VIPArea.com. The announcement kicked off the re-launch of the popular glamour websites VIPArea.com and IKissGirls.com, which were remodeled to make them more interactive with more solo model features and girl-girl scenes.

The accolade means Veracruz will grace the site more frequently, hosting chats, conducting model interviews and interacting with members through the forum and Twitter.

Veracruz first appeared on VIPArea.com in May 2013 as the VIP Delight of the Month. According to Sands, Veracruz has been a favorite among members ever since.

“It’s always been a pleasure working with Tammy,” Veracruz said. “I am delighted to be recognized as this year’s Delight and look forward to many more hot photo and video shoots. With some of the most beautiful talent in the world, VIPArea.com has quickly become a popular all-girl glamour site, which I am proud to be part of.

“This year has been amazing,” she continued. “With so much support from my fans and studios, I have been able to realize a level of success that seemed so far away when I started in the biz a few years ago as a girl-girl performer. As many sites move to shooting hardcore content, I’s reassuring to know that through significant promotion and dedication, girl-girl performers can still realize the same level of notoriety as our hardcore performer friends.”

A 15-year veteran of erotic glamour photography, Sands’ resume includes acclaimed work for Penthouse, Twistys.com and Danni.com among others. However, she said most of her work going forward will be for her own sites and Girlfriends Films.

“Our focus [at VIPArea.com] will be on high-end glamour solo sets featuring elite adult models, as well as exclusive girl-girl content with the industry’s best talent,” she said. “We’re committed to providing a better and more enjoyable experience with better streaming, a new Delight of the Month section, faster downloads, larger files, larger previews, better search, Web 2.0 features, mobile compatibility and an enhanced model directory.”

Sands’ sites are part of the Glamour Dollars affiliate program, which she also owns and operates. The program pays a 50- to 70-percent recurring revenue share.
