Laura Jellum Mondays, 3PM

Laura Jellum is officially “tall” according to Tall Clubs International (TCI), and she loves “the rock” and also “the roll.” Speaking of rolls, she loves sweets so much that she goes to candy conventions, and she takes photos of food that she is about to eat (for posterity’s sake). She can’t pass up a pinball machine and thinks work is for suckers. If all goes according to plan, Laura will be retiring to Palm Springs before the end of Obama’s second term, after making millions in the skin trade.
