Stephanie Adams (born in Orange, New Jersey, July 24, 1970) is an American model and spirituality author. She was the November 1992 Playboy Playmate, has continued to appear in Playboy[1] and has appeared as a centerfold in international editions of Playboy magazine.

Biography

Adams was born in New Jersey and raised in New York City, where she currently resides. She has a mixed heritage of African American, Caucasian and Cherokee (Native American) ancestry.[2] Adams was raised by her aunts, who were both former models and encouraged her to begin modeling at the age of 16. After appearing in photo shoots for Seventeen magazine, Venus Swimwear, and commercial advertisements for Clairol, Adams appeared as "Miss November 1992" in Playboy magazine. She earned a bachelor's degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University while modeling for Wilhelmina Models, switching to Elite Model Management after posing for Playboy.

Adams was the first Playboy centerfold to become a LGBT spokesmodel.[3] In 1998 the New York Post named her one of the "50 most eligible babes in NY".[4] In 2004 The Village Voice named her "Best NYC lesbian sex symbol." She has appeared on the magazine's cover, along with LGBT magazine covers and in advertisements.[5] Adams made a cameo appearance along with 10 other Playmates on the Late Show with David Letterman on November 20 2003 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of Playboy magazine.[6]Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).[7]

According to Fox News, on September 23 2006 Adams filed a $5 million dollar lawsuit[8] against a NYC taxicab driver, the NYPD and the city of New York following an incident on May 25, 2006. The driver was fined and his license was revoked by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission.[9] Adams also made a complaint and filed a lawsuit accusing the police of assault.[10][11]

Since 2003, Adams has written a series of astrology, new age, spiritual and metaphysical books and calendars called Goddessy.[citation needed]
