Playmate, Teela LaRoux is doing anything and everything she can to live life to the fullest. “I’m a hardworking, goofy, adventurous firecracker — a free spirit creating the life I’ve always envisioned,” says our Miss July 2019. “My boyfriend and I are adrenaline junkies. Life is short; we want to do everything we desire, because tomorrow, tonight, we may not be here. We’re going out of this world doing as many of the things we want as we can,” she says. Coming to Playboy from Seattle and now based in Los Angeles, Teela is a woman of the world. She started modeling in her teens and just after high school, she was already living abroad, making a name for herself in Europe. “I graduated from high school at 16 and was offered a four-year scholarship to college, but I gave it up to travel the world,” she says. “I had to grow up pretty quickly, but I learned more abroad than I ever could have in school.” After everything she’s experienced, Teela is focused on helping other models in the industry by being a body-positive influence. “The industry definitely took its toll. I went through a 10-year eating disorder. Discovering holistic healing and nutrition helped me love myself and my body,” she explains. “Right now my passion lies in helping others.” Brave, beautiful and strong, there is so much more to learn about our stunning Miss July 2019, right here, only on Playboy Plus!
