Looks aren’t everything. Believe me, I’m a model.

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 talk, she looks at the industry that made her look highly seductive at barely 16-years-old.

“Saying that you want to be a model when you grow up is akin to saying that you want to win the Powerball when you grow up. It’s out of your control and it’s awesome — and it’s not a career path.” – Cameron Russell

Watch this TED Talk. It definitely gets you thinking about the role of beauty in life or, at least, getting yourself more comfortable acknowledging the power of image in your perceived successes and your perceived failures.
