Christi Shake (born August 22, 1980 in the Sparrows Point/Essex area of Baltimore, Maryland) is an American model and actress. She is of Czech, German, Polish, Swedish and Dutch ancestry. [ [http://www.playboy.com/girls/playmates/directory/200205.html Christi Shake - Christi Shake Pics - Christi Shake Playboy - Christi Shake Nude ] ] Shake was chosen as "Playboy" magazine's Playmate of the Month for May, 2002. She has since appeared in numerous "Playboy" videos, special edition issues and - in July 2006 - posed for a "Playmate Xtra" as part of the Playboy Cyber Club.

Early life

As a young girl, Shake started out as a tap dancer; however, her mother eventually took her out of tap dancing, since Shake felt too shy performing on stage. [http://www.babes.net/biography.asp?ID=1925 BABES.NET - Christi Shake - Full Biography ] ] Shake instead decided to become a cheerleader at age 11, and continued to pursue cheerleading all throughout high school.

Shake had her first crack at modeling at the age of 13, as she entered the John Casablancas Modeling and Career Center, which is the largest modeling school in the world. Shake entered and won her first pageant, dubbed "Manhattan Model Search", in Pennsylvania. She competed against 1,500 other girls. After winning the pageant, Shake was offered 11 contracts, but she and her mother decided to decline the contract offers, since her mother felt that Shake was too young for the travel expectations in modeling.

Professional modeling career

After graduating high school with honors at age 18, Shake engaged in some part-time modeling. She got her big break after turning 19 when she met a man at a club who introduced her to people that ran "Playboy" magazine. Shake was a cover girl in her first ever work with "Playboy", as she was featured in the March 2001 special edition of "College Girls."

Shake later met the brass of the "Playboy" Chicago office, who wanted to do a centerfold test shoot with her. After a successful shoot in Chicago, Shake was invited to stay at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, while doing some more shooting. She eventually got word that she was chosen to be a centerfold for "Playboy". The issue she was featured in turned out to be for May 2002. After the issue was released, Shake embarked on trips all across the world, as she was interviewed in Japan, New Zealand, Trinidad and the United States. She has since continued modeling for "Playboy".

Shake was also featured in the video game, "Street Racing Syndicate", as one of the game's "girlfriends."
