Stephanie Adams (born July 24 1970 in Orange, New Jersey) is an American model, spirituality author, and the November 1992 Playboy Playmate, who continues to appear in Playboy.[1] Adams also appeared as a centerfold in various international editions of Playboy magazine, in addition to being featured in Playboy as well as other media for being a direct descendant of President John Adams.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

Adams was raised from birth by her aunts, who were former models. At the age of 16, her aunts encouraged her to start a career in modeling as well. Adams was signed first to Wilhelmina Models while completing her bachelor's degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and then to Elite Model Management by her ex-boyfriend John Casablancas.

Upon graduating college at the age of 20, Adams started applying her dual degree in business management and marketing towards her proceeds from modeling to become an avid financial investor in Fortune 500 companies. Eventually, Adams also became the first centerfold to become a LGBT spokesmodel[2] and advocate[3] in the LGBT community.

Shortly after her centerfold in Playboy, Adams met and married an Italian investment banker, who she later divorced. A few years later, the New York Post named her one of the "50 most eligible babes in NY" in 1998[4] and The Village Voice named her "Best NYC lesbian sex symbol" in 2004, in addition to gracing their cover as well as other LGBT magazine covers and advertisements.[5]

On September 23 2006, Adams announced a $5 million dollar lawsuit[6] against a NYC taxicab driver, the NYPD, and the city of New York after an incident on May 25, 2006. The driver was fined and had his license revoked by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission.[7] A complaint accusing the police of assault was made at the Civilian Complaint Review Board[8] and filed in state Supreme Court.[9]

Adams continues her extensive career as a writer as well as a professional model, and has made several Playboy[10] and non-Playboy[11] public appearances since then, but prefers to keep the details of her personal life private. Adams also continues to dedicate most of her time now as a financial investor and philanthropist.[12]
