Beauty? Ask me, I'm a model! (TED)

Cameron Russell, TEDTalks, 1/16/13; Ashley Wells, Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

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

Ah, don't look at my poop-filled guts!

Cameron Russell (twitter, instagram) admits she won the "genetic lottery": She's white, hot, tall, pretty, young, and an underwear model. But don't judge her by her looks. In this fearless talk she takes a wry look at the bogus industry that had her looking sexual and seductive at barely 16-years-old. Filmed at TEDxMidAtlantic.
