Looks Aren't Everything. Believe Me, I'm a Model.

When giving the speech Cameron Russell kept in mind who she was speaking to and whom she thought would benefit most from her speech. When she was giving her speech she reached out to the audience and tried to get her topic to impact the whole audience.
             The first way the speaker persuades her audience is by using an ethological appeal. Cameron uses ethos in her speech by sharing her personal experience. The first experience that she shares is a picture from one of her photo shoots with another male model. She describes this experience as something that she did not want to do and almost uncomfortable " I had actually never had a boyfriend in real life. I was totally uncomfortable, and the photographer was telling me to arch my back and put my hand in the guys hair"(Russell). Her describing this experience give her credibility because she actually experienced this and is not just reading it out of a magazine or some showing pictures of random models. When she's speaking about the different modeling that she took part in the audience is able to tell that it is something the she takes on a personal level. Russell goes into details about how exactly she became a model and at first she quotes "I was scouted" but then goes into details on the real way she became a model and uses the term "legacy". She talks about how she was basically born to be a model, her genetics fulfill the stereotypical model; tall slender figures with white skin. After Cameron covers how she became a model she begins to talk about the very first photograph that she ever modeled in. The large screen behind her then pulls up the picture. In this picture she's wearing a black bikini, and posed in a very sexual way. As the audience is looking at the picture she begins to tell them how this is not her. "This picture is the very first picture that I ever took, and it's also the very first time that I had worn a bikini, and I didn't even have my period yet" (Russell).
