Looks Aren't Everything







What do you think when you see yourself? A lot of things probably, good and bad. Now what does a model sees of themselves. You probably think they see perfect barbie dolls with a perfect body. You and I probably would never expect to hear a model say she is insecure. Cameron Russell, a model, said looks aren't everything, and I really do agree with her. She has been a model for 10 years, looks amazing in all pictures, and naturally, and is still insecure of herself. There is nothing wrong with you I promise. You are perfect in your own way. Be happy with yourself. Watch this video, and this will tell you a lot about what models go through, and how just a pretty face can literally get you free stuff. Hope you enjoy this video, even though its a bit long... :)

  2. I like this TED talk. I never really thought about models being insecure. I guess it makes sense now because everyone sees them everyday at every hour and they see what they wear and their make up. Honestly, I thought that models were superficial and not really smart, but I have to say that Cameron Russell changed my mind. We should consider beauty as the way we feel about ourselves NOT the way the people see us.

  3. This was a really interesting TED Talk. Honestly, I have to agree with Arielle, that beforehand I had always thought of models as fake and superficial, but after watching Cameron, I changed my mind. I couldn't agree more with what she is saying that we are all beautiful just the way we are. In society the media portrays the idea that your image is more important than really anything else-which is honestly a shame. I hope this video becomes viral because it has an inspiring message. Thanks for sharing!! :)

  4. I absolutely loved this video! It is a topic that everyone on this world should think logically about. I mean, it's ridiculous how society defines beautiful as blonde, white, and really skinny. It was really cool of Cameron to give a model's point of view about beauty.

  6. This video was super interesting, I never really though of models but when I did it was always to complain and think "models are sex symbols" and stuff like that. We shouldn't just blame models for being sex symbols, we should also blame ourselves for turning them into icons. The stats on how girls feel about their bodies surprised me, I really thought it would be higher.

  7. This was interesting. Doesn't seem like she said anything everyone didn't know already though. She seemed real nervous too.

  8. This video was pretty cool! I really love how a model was saying all these things, not because I didn't already know it, because I did, but because it feels refreshing to have a model like Cameron to be so down to earth and everything. Pretty interesting, thanks for sharing :)

  9. This video was interesting... and coming from a model, but, like my sister said, she does sorta repeat things everyone already knows and stuff.

  10. This video was so interesting and I really liked the way she showed that looks aren't everything because no one is perfect. This message is strong coming from a model because in their job is to look pretty in magazines.
