Cameron Russell gave a TED Talk about how being a model is not all glamour and that models can be some of the most insecure women. She explained that despite her career in modeling for over ten years, she and other models often feel insecure. She emphasized that there is more to life than just looks or becoming a model.

1. Cameron Russell
Ted Talk: Looks aren’t everything. Believe me, I’m a
model.

2. Cameron Russell has been modeling for over ten
years, and while most women envy supermodels;
Cameron makes it clear that herself and other models
might be the most insecure women on earth. When
listening to every word she says it all comes together
and makes so much sense for young girls who aspire
to be models one day as I once did.
• Cameron came onto the “TED Stage” in a little
black dress. She spoke about the “image” the dress
gave off the audience, and drew the crowd in even
more when she completely changed her appearance
by changing into a long skirt, sweater, and flat shoes.
We all knew she had something to saw then...

3. Cameron gave really good
advice to young girls who say
they want to model when they
are older. Its not all about the
photographs, and I think thats
an important point to make.
Theres so many other great
things you can do in life, and she
even gives them a list!

4. During Cameron’s talk, I think she made a lot a great
points. She did seem nervous throughout the Ted
talk though. She sometimes would begin to speak a
little too fast or laugh to maybe keep calm. I am not
so great with public speaking myself, so I know these
things.

5. Overall Cameron did a great job, she was able to capture
and keep the audiences attention. With her words alone,
she didn’t allow her looks to overshadow anything she
had to say, and I think that was a very important key for
success.
I am a very shy speaker, while watching Cameron I learned
its okay to laugh even when somethings not funny to
everyone else in the room. This Ted Talk showed me that
you can capture a large crowds attention by just being
yourself and being honest.

6. Compare & Contrast
Though they spoke about two very different topics I think they both
reached out to the younger crowed. I think Sir Ken was a lot more
entertaining during his talk, and Cameron was not have as many jokes
to go along with what she had to say. I think they both did awesome
jobs keeping the crowds attention in the end.

7. Advice
• Be yourself
• Be open and honest
• Make the crowd want more
• Be genuine
• And make them laugh, everyone loves to laugh
