Shelley was one of the models who regularly appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine since the beginning of her modeling career. In fact, one of her first covers was for the November 1964 issue of the mag. She also regularly appeared on other Seventeen magazine outings such as their booklets/guide books. In 1968, she appeared on the pages of the Seventeen Models guide booklet.

The booklet introduced readers to the models who regularly appeared on the pages of Seventeen (as well as other teen and fashion mags at the time). Aside from Shelley, the other models featured in the booklet were Lucy Angle, Susan "Susie" Blakely, Colleen Corby, Terry Reno, Cheryl Tiegs and many of the models in-demand during the era. The hows and whys they all became models were also explained in the booklet; and pics of them before they each started modeling were included as well. It also featured a writeup on the qualities needed by girls in order to become successful in the modeling industry.
