Playboy Cybergirl of the Month, August 2008

Sharae Spears Bio

Sharae Spears is an American Adult model. She was born on May 18, 1984, in Knoxville, Tennessee. Playboy featured her as Cybergirl of the Month in August 2008 at 24. She later received the Cybergirl of the Year title for 2009. The feature was part of Playboy's web-first model program.

Spears has natural breasts, brown eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-23-34.

Sharae Spears received one of Playboy’s bigger digital-era surprises in thoroughly ordinary surroundings: she was sitting in a drive-through waiting for a cheeseburger when the call came. Spears later recalled that becoming Cybergirl of the Month had already seemed improbable enough. Learning that she had gone on to earn Cybergirl of the Year for 2009 pushed the moment well beyond anything she had expected.

Her Playboy work extended beyond the Cybergirl pictorials. Spears also appeared in Episode 142 of the magazine’s Bodcast video series, part of Playboy’s expanding online programming during the late 2000s. The combination of photography and video gave her a broader presence within the Cyber Club at a time when Playboy was steadily adding digital formats alongside the traditional magazine.

Playboy’s profile of Spears leaned heavily on her direct manner and Southern background. She was presented as someone who said what she meant, with the Tennessee accent to match. That plainspoken quality comes through particularly well in her own recollection of receiving the Cybergirl news: no elaborate backstage story, just an unexpected phone call arriving while dinner was still somewhere ahead in the drive-through line.

Her interests away from modeling were surprisingly domestic. Spears enjoyed reading and writing, but remodeling was the pastime she spoke about with particular enthusiasm. She liked refinishing old furniture and hoped eventually to take on the restoration of an entire house. Home, she said, was her comfort zone, giving her profile a detail far removed from the polished setting of a Playboy shoot.

The Cybergirl of the Year title became the largest distinction in Spears’ Playboy run, but the smaller details make the period more memorable. There was the Bodcast appearance, the Southern directness, the habit of restoring furniture and, above all, that cheeseburger interrupted by a career-changing phone call. For a model being celebrated within Playboy’s digital world, the news arrived in about as unglamorous—and human—a setting as possible.
