Hello, my name is Cameron Russell
and for a while
I have been models.
In fact, for 10 years.
I have the impression that there is a tension embarrassing
in the room at the moment
because I had not worn this dress. (Laughter)
Fortunately I brought something to be changed.
This will be the first dressing change on the TED stage,
so you’re lucky to be witnesses to this scene.
If some of the women would dread having to get something done,
you do not have to tell me now that I will reveal later in twitter.
(Laughter)
I want to note that I am somewhat privileged
I was able to transform what you think about me
in a time of 10 seconds.
Not everyone can achieve this.
These heels are very uncomfortable,
good thing as it will not wear.
The most difficult part is the passage of the sweater over my head,
because at this moment I would laugh at me,
so do not do anything as it is over my head.
beautifully
Why did I do all this?
It was difficult
beautifully
fortunately not as difficult as it
The image is applicable,
but also image is superficial.
I managed to transform what you think of me in six seconds.
And in this photograph,
in fact I’ve never had a girlfriend in real life
I set the Sikhs, and photos
He asked me to give the bow to keep my backpack and my hands
the hair of one boy.
He gave obviously, except oeracionit,
or fake tan that made part per work front,
are few things we can do to transform how we look
and appearance although superficial and immutable,
It has a huge impact on our lives.
Edge that today, for me, being fearless means being honest.
And I am on this stage because I’m models.
I am on this stage because I am a white female and beautiful
and in my industrime we call a sexy woman.
And I will answer the question that people always do,
but with the truth.
The first question is, as I became a model?
And I always say, “Oh, I was a breakthrough,” but that does not mean anything.
True Path on which it is made models
I won a genetic lottery, and I am the legitimate heirs
and maybe you’re curious about what legacy.
For the last few centuries
we have benefited beauty not simply as health and youth
and the fact that we are biologically programmed to be admired,
but also as taller, fine figure
and feminilitet and white skin.
And that is a legacy that was built especially for me,
and is a legacy from which I have benefited.
And I know that there are people in the audience
that they are skeptical at this point,
and perhaps there are some fashonista as,
“Wait. Naomi. Tyra. Joan Smalls. Liu Wen.”
The first congratulate you on your knowledge about fashions. Pretty impressive.
(Laughter)
But unfortunately we have to inform you that in 2007,
a student Ph.D. more inspired the NYU counted
all models on the runway, each one of them that was employed,
and from 677 employed models,
only 27 or less than 4% were non-white.
The next question that people make is always
“Can I become a model when I grow up?”
And the answer is, “I do not know, it’s not me who decides?”
But the second answer, which I really give these young girls is, “Why?”
You know what? You can be everything.
Can become president of the United States of America,
or future inventor
or a poet thoratic Nixha cardiac surgeon,
something that would be wonderful because it will wast of money.
(Laughter)
And if after this list will say,
“No, Cameron, I want to be a good model”
then I will say “Be my director”
Because I do not decide anything,
You can be kryeeditori of American Vogue
or CEO of H & M, or the next Steven Meisel.
Saying you want to be when you’re older models
It is like saying wants to win the lottery when he grows up.
It is beyond your control, and it is fantastic
and there is a way career.
Will demonstrate to you a knowledge accumulated in 10 years as a model,
because unlike cardio-Thoracic surgeon,
It can be shown immediately, now.
If the picture is exactly there
and the light is right here, a sweet HMI
and the customer says, “Cameron, we want a shot walking in the above”
then this leg goes first, nice and long, it goes back hand, another hand goes ahead
head is slightly up, and you go up and down
He continues to rehash and looks back at imaginary friend
300, 400, 500 times. (Laughter)
It would be something like this.
Perhaps less unpleasant than the middle.
It was like, I do not know what happened.
Unfortunately when you go to school
and after you have a résumé and have done some work,
You can not say anything more
and if you say you search you become president of the United States
but your resume says, “models for underwear: 10 years”
people will gaze asked ironically.
The next question which always ask is, “Did elaborate all the pictures?”
And yes, more or less all the pictures processed,
but this is a small detail that it happens.
This is the first picture I’ve done,
and is the first time I wore a bikini,
and still they had not begun to menstruate.
I understand that things are personal, but
I was a young girl.
So I looked a few months ago with my grandmother.
Here I am on the same day in this shooting.
My wife had to go with me.
Here I am at a party a few days before pajamas Photo for French Vogue.
Here I am with the football skuandren and magazine V.
And here I am today.
And I hope you understand that the
These pictures are not my pictures.
These are processing,
and they are processed by a group of professionals,
the hairdresser and makjazhi artist and photographer and stylist
and all their assistants and the parapunime paspunime
and they built this. That’s not me.
The next question which is always to ask,
“Does things for free?”
I have a lot of shoes with heels 8 inches which is not never heard,
unless earlier,
but the things that I take for free
are things that I got into real life, are things that we do not like to talk.
I grew up in Cambridge
and once I walked in a shop, but I had forgotten money
and they gave me a free dress.
When I was a teenager, I was in the car together with a friend
which was a very bad drivers and crossed with red and definitely
that was stopped
and we had only to say “Officer, forgive us”
and thus we saved.
And I got these three things from my appearances gratis
and not from who I am, and there are people who pay
due to surface appearance and not because they are in.
I live in New York and last year
from 140 000 adolescents stop words
86% of them were in color or Latin
and most of them were young men.
And it has a total of 177 000 boys with Latin color and in New York
and for them is meaningless question “Would ndalohem”
but “How many times will ndalohem?” “When ndalohem?”
When the material was looking for this speech
I was able to ascertain that the 13-year-old girls in the United States of America
53% do not like their body,
and this percentage is 17 to 78 years of age.
The last question to ask where is
“How it is to be a model?”
And I think the answer to which is seeking
“If you’re delightfully less if you hair shiny”
You will be happy and wonderful. “
And when we are in the background, give an answer
which probably resembled thus
We say “It’s really wonderful to wander,
It is wonderful to go to work with creative people, inspired and apasionante “
All these are true but are only half the story
because the only thing that does not say in front of camera
I’ve never said before camera
is “I am uncertain”
I’m insecure because I have to think
I look every day.
And if you ever ask yourself
“If I walk with thin hair and the brightest, I would be happier?”
you just have to meet a group of models
because they have legs with thin hair and the shendritshem and beautiful clothes
and maybe they are women with unsafe physically on the planet.
When I was preparing this speech, it was very difficult
To establish a fair balance for one side
It was very uncomfortable to go out here and say
Look, I have benefited all these good
and feel uncomfortable to really follow
and does not always happy.
Many times it is difficult to reverse tradition
gender oppression and racism
when I am one of the biggest beneficiaries.
But also I am happy and honored to be here
and I think that was something beautiful I had to come
before the switch 10 or 20 or 30 years and had more agencies in my career
because maybe then you will not be able to tell the story of how I got the first job
or perhaps I will not tell the story of how I paid for college
which seem more important now.
Whether any of the received message from this speech, I hope that
We all feel more comfortable knowing
the power of submission to our success
and in our failure.
Thank you. (Applause)
