[edit] Photo rights

A legal dispute occurred overPlayboy's use of a portrait of Shannon taken by Mother Lode Photography for Independence High School's yearbook when she attended the El Dorado County school[1].

The photograph was used in Playboy's 2003 50th Anniversary issue, accompanying a brief bio of Shannon. Mother Lode Photography co-owner Carla Calkins filed a federal lawsuit against the magazine in November 2006 following a $100 settlement offer from Playboy, citing a compensation precedent of $750 when Mother Lode's work has been published in the past.

A federal judge dismissed the suit in May 2008.[2]

[edit] Trivia

Shannon has several vintage, retro tattoos including:

  • stars and dots on her ankles and wrists inspired by sailor tattoos,
  • a cat tattoo on her ankle,
  • cherries on her foot, and most recently
  • a lower back tattoo of mistletoe
