Looks Aren't Everything.

During this very interesting and informative TED Talk, Cameron Russel explains how being a model has effected her whole life. She explains how the won the 'genetic lottery' meaning she's tall, beautiful, skinny and she's an underwear model. Her looks have blessed her in a postie and negative way. She goes in-depth into a models mind and what her life-style is. The modeling industry is cruel to young girls because it effects the way they think and feel about themselves. She addresses the fact that a lot of people think models have no insecurity, have no worries and have a perfect life, but it's not true. Cameron tells the audience how none of those things are true, and how models are often times forced to be something and represent something that isn't a good thing.


This TED Talk interested me a lot because I've always been interested in how the human mind works, why society is the way it is and why people do certain things. The talk was an eye opener because I realized that I was one of those people that was stereo-typing models for what I was seeing. I understand now that models have insecurities and their lives are not perfect.
