Unlike my tough-as-nails dad, I wear protective gear around bees, because I cry like a little bitch when I get stung. He once got stung 60 TIMES by a swarm and didn’t shed a goddamn tear. Chuck Norris, you have some competition.
About
I'm Laura Leu, a writer living in New York City. I enjoy telling strangers on the Internet my name, occupation and city of residence.I've written for Women's Health, Maxim, Cosmo, Details, Health, Time Out New York, New York Post, McSweeney's and Salon, among others. In January 2010, my boyfriend Adam and I launched Navigeaters, a blog that documents our quest to eat a meal from every nation in the world without leaving NYC. I also created Self-Petting Zoo, your one-stop shop for masturbating animal videos.
If you're an editor who wants to give me work, you can read some clips below or take a look at my resume. If you're a horny old German man, you can watch this video of me playing my accordion while my friend pole-dances.
You can email me at laura.leu [at] gmail.com, or find me on Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, or standing right behind you. Psych!

I grew up on a honey farm, the daughter of a beekeeper. Although my dad retired from keeping bees long ago, he’s since taken it up as a hobby. Here he is explaining the birds ‘n the bees of bees, as he grabs a drone with his bare hands and extracts its penis.
My dad is tougher than your dad.
