I was bullied at school.
From Cameron Russell
My first day of high school, I wore brown boys' corduroys that my mom had sewn Sesame Street elastic into - they were my coolest pants - and a lime green Patagonia fleece that my mom found at Goodwill. I loved fleece.
The barrier to entry, to being a model, is not hard work. You don't need a degree. You don't need to win an award. It's just about how you look.
I haven't done the profoundly impactful work many TED speakers have.
Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.
I've never personally been anorexic.
I don't think fashion is evil.
Modeling is one of the few professions where women out-earn men, and that's because we're more valuable objects and ornaments.
When you're looking through a magazine, you'd think every single person's a different person, but every third girl is actually the same girl in a different outfit and makeup.
It's going to sound ridiculous, but knowing how to pose, how to maintain a level of engagement and variation for a day of shooting, is actually a skill.
