Shae Marks was discovered by a Playboy Photographer when she was 20 years old when she was asked to pose for an advertisement for World Gym in Houston, Texas. One month later, in October 1993, she flew to Los Angeles, California (meeting her Future husband on the flight), did a test shoot for a centerfold and was accepted as Playmate of the Month for May 1994. During her stint with Playboy, Marks was a traveling representative for the company, visiting such ports of call as Hong Kong and Denmark. After her Playmate appearance, Marks went on to appear in several Playboy Special Editions including Book of Lingerie, Girls of Summer, and Voluptuous Vixens.
