Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the November 1970 issue of Woman's Day magazine.

Shelley was featured in a spread called "100 Gifts To Make." It featured various gifts readers could knit, or sew, or crochet, or construct, or paste together for anyone and everyone on their list for the upcoming holiday season. It featured gifts that could be made for under $5, small remembrances that said more than any greeting card could, and special ones for the special people in anybody's life. Shelley wore the Head Hugger, a skull cap that was crocheted in wide-mesh stitches and could be quickly made by anyone. She wore it with a red long-sleeved rib-knit turtleneck top. As always, Shelley looked sensational.
