Cameron Russell admits she won “a genetic lottery”: she’s tall, pretty and an underwear model. But don’t judge her by her looks. In this fearless talk, she takes a wry look at the industry that had her looking highly seductive at barely 16-years-old.

Its been gr8 to accept our negatives in front of a crowd. Hats off.. I have seen this vdo nw. It l b a late comment but i wanted to say the above.
Was this shoot in russia
Because only russians can't laught on that witty jokes
Just minutes before electing to give this TED-Talk a try, I was thinking about how many people are unhappy with their wealth in Life, especially the rich ones; then, I selected to see what this was about .. ?
確かに生まれつきの美貌で人生得をしてる人も多いが、苦しい事も多いのだろう。しかし、年齢を重ねると、内面のよさが顔にでる。最近は、綺麗な女性で、ストーカーに好かれ殺された話もよくきく。美貌がゆえの災難だろう。ともかく、彼女は内面も美しい。
Very emotionally raw and genuine. Loved it! ❤
Даже название немножко странное.
Thank you for sharing, specially about how the pictures created I will show this to my pre teenage daughter
She is such an inspiration, She's funny and honest.
libtard model
Same as "Money doesn't matter, trust me, I am rich"…
Models: Looks don’t matter
Tall people: Height doesn’t matter
Rich people: Money doesn’t matter
Of course it matters and that’s a fact. You just don’t see it that way because you already have it but trust me if you didn’t you would say it matters
The title should have been "how it's like to be a model"
Also the model talks about how insecure they are? Do you know being ugly is far worse than that, years of insecurity doesn't even allow me to step out of the house. Imagine being so low confident that you can't step outside or see any friends. I could easily choose to be pretty and insecure than being ugly and insecure and being constantly judged.
このタイトルおかしいだろ
モデルのお前が見た目が全てじゃないって言ってもなんの説得力もない
ブスが見た目が全てじゃないって言うのならわかるが
She's taking about
How Beauty standard today is
Fucked up
Yeah, it’s not everything, but will mean a lot
I cant even believe that I watched this. this has got to be, hands down; the most irritating, absurd (I need a thesuarus) placating absolute rubbish ever produced in the history of the internet. Im literally speechless.
She certainly seems to have a very healthy mental attitude for her situation in life. It's nice to know that some professional models do not think that it's the All About Me Show as far as their career and life off the runway are concerned.
its simple when you have something ,your gonna say its not important , i mean ask a orphan how much he values family compared to a guy who leaves his home at 18 and prolly never returns

У нее не только внешность, но и речь симпатична
The thing I hate about this – more so than anything else – is the utter lack of any kind of humility or empathy in here. "If you were wondering about me, I just changed all of your minds in 10 seconds…." Claiming to know what the crowd were thinking/feeling. That kind of narcissism is succintly unlikeable.
Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (John 3:16)
But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17):

Yes, she's beautiful, but she also didn't shove Krispy Kreme donuts in her pie hole until she weighed 300 lbs. I respect her for that. So many western women are overweight and proud of their "natural" bodies. There's nothing natural about a sugar-infused skin sack.
Believe me people, looks matter a lot.
Before covid I looked really good, people told me I should model, I should act. I got free stuff and compliments.
But then I gained 10kgs in these past two years of Covid and how people treat me has definitely changed.
Nonsense.
if she wasnt good looking they wouldnt of even listened to this speech whatsoever.
Im no model. But i felt good in my skin until the scdmh screwed me up, why bc theyre stupid
I've been on both sides .. I used to have acne on my face and everyone were rude to me even shop assistants.. but then after my acne cleared up suddenly everyone are nice and respectful to me .. it pisses me off to think about
And btw for those wondering why women put on makeup.. this is why.. because they know life is easier that way
One of the most believable and genuine Ted talks that I have ever seen .
