Stephanie Adams (b. July 24, 1970, Orange, New Jersey) is an American model.
Early Life
Stephanie Adams was raised by her aunts at birth. Why she was raised by her aunts is not completely clear, but bits and pieces of her child life were used in two of her novels. Stephanie often speaks in interviews about her aunts being the sole inspiration for her being who she is today and has expressed undying gratitude for their unconditional love for her. After one of her aunts died to breast cancer, she made a dramatic change by quitting her modeling career and becoming the author of over a dozen spiritual books. Stephanie also gave a highly publicized speech for Gay Pride in New York City speaking of the love that inspired her to be happy with who she is today.
Modeling Career
Stephanie Adams graduated high school at the age of 16 and, with the help of her aunts who had also been models, she began her modeling career. She was signed to the Wilhemina modeling agency while completing college, and then to the Elite modeling agency by John Casablancas, whom she also dated for a time.
Stephanie did photo shoots for companies such as Seventeen and Miss Clairol, and then was chosen as the November, 1992 Playboy playmate of the month after finally accepting their offer to pose nude. She also appeared in numerous Playboy videos and currently appears as a celebrity model on the cover of various publications as well as her book covers. Stephanie is considered to be one of the most beautiful models of recent times.
Personal Life
Stephanie Adams dated former Elite owner John Casablancas around the time she posed in Playboy. (John appears in a photo with her for her pictorial.) Stephanie later married an Italian investment banker, and after her divorce (with the help of her high-profile divorce attorney Raoul Felder) she dated several prominent New York City men including having a tempestuous relationship with musician Mario Giampaglia. To this day Mario still considers Stephanie to be the love of his life. Shortly afterwards, Stephanie became the only former Playboy Playmate to come out publicly as a lesbian.
Stephanie Adams was involved for some time with a woman named Denise Taormina, and briefly dated a well known woman in the entertainment industry. She refused to devulge any names, but it eventually appeared on "Page Six" of the New York Post that the "woman" was actually two women: comedian Marga Gomez and rock star Joan Jett. Stephanie later dated a woman named Barbara Assisi who appeared on the cover of various publications with her including her book entitled Empress. When asked about her love life now, Stephanie says that she is a "Playboy trapped in a Playmate's body".
GODDESSY
Stephanie Adams is the first Playboy Centerfold to come "out" as a lesbian, in addition to writing a series of 16 books published about astrology, new age, spirituality and metaphysics. Also known as the Founder of StephanieAdams.com (her Playboy fan club site), Sapphica.com (her lesbian resource site) and GODDESSY.com (her official celebrity site for the media), Stephanie has been featured in and on the cover of various publications, including Playboy, The Village Voice, GO NYC, etc. and has appeared on numerous TV networks, including CBS, NBC, ABC, and more. Stephanie has participated in several Gay Prides for New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, etc. and has spoken for several other organizations including Out Professionals, Women's Alliance, Playboy Enterprises and more. Media coverage about Stephanie has been in the Daily News, the New York Post, the Advocate, and more. Stephanie is currently the author of 16 books, a contributing editor for 10 publications, a renowned international psychic/astrologist, an advocate in the LGBT community as well as the spokesmodel for a new LGBT fashion line and a special feature in an upcoming documentary about her life. Stephanie continues to make special celebrity appearances for Playboy and non-Playboy events, but has recently chosen to dedicate a great deal of her time towards a private life.
According to her feature in Playboy, Stephanie is the direct descendant of U.S. presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
