Biography
Adams was born in New Jersey and raised in New York, where she currently resides. She has a mixed heritage of African American, Caucasian and Cherokee (Native American) ancestry. 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. In 1998 New York Post columnist Richard Johnson named her one of the "50 most eligible babes in NY". 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. 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.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
On September 23, 2006 Adams filed a $5 million dollar lawsuit 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 The driver was fined, and his license was revoked by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission. Adams also made a complaint and filed a lawsuit accusing the police of assault.
Adams is the author of 17 metaphysical books and 3 astrology calendars called Goddessy.
