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

Cameron changes her outfit on stage, to show how quickly she can change people’s opinions of her,only with the clothes.
Cameron is feminine, white and tall, and that is what requires be a model. She describes this as a genetic lottery and says that less than 4% of models are black. Cameron looks at modelling as extremely fake and superficial job, and the skills learnt are minimal. Most of the shots that she have done are directed and don't show who she really is.
She can get things without paying because of how she looks, for example a store owner gives her a dress for free, or a policeman let her get away with only a “Sorry, officer”. 
On the other hand, she sees other people punished because of how they look, 86% of people arrested by police in New York are black or south american and 78% of 17 year old girls are unhappy with how they look, thinking that if they look like a models they will be happier. 
Cameron says that models are the most insecure people because their whole life turn around about how they look.
Cameron's says that everyone should be more comfortable acknowledging the power of image in our successes and failures.

I already knew that the pictures of the models are not what they really are, and that the world of models are superficial. I once read a French model confessing that her bosses only gave to her apples and laxatives to eat, so she wouldn't gain weight and stay very thin. I don't like the stereotypes, I think that everyone is beautiful on its way and should be no one saying that the perfect body is like this or isn't like this.

LIFE RESOLUTIONS

As is typical in this dates do a New Year's Resolution I will do one too, but a little bit different, because it's a resolution that I can't do it right now but with some years I hope yes.

As I said in this blog so many times one of my biggest wishes is travel arround the world and visit as many countries as I can. But obviously that requires a lot of money and since I don't have a rich family I've had to research a lot and finally I found my perffect solution: Workaway.

Workaway is a site to promote exchange between persons who wants to travel with people of all the world who are looking for some type of help. They provide you food and accommodation in exchange for a few hours of work.
That aren't the typical holidays where you stay in a five stars hotel and you do nothing except enjoy it, but you have to sacrifice something to accomplish your dreams.

But obviously this method of travel has a number of benefits and here there's some of them:

-Save money
This is the most the most obvious benefit because yo don't have to pay for meals or accommodation.

-Know the local culture
You are going to stay with people who lives in that country who can show you places,teach you local stories and historical significance of different places, that means you are getting involved in the community, and that is how you are going to learn about different lifestyles.

-Learn new skills

-Experience life in someone else’s shoes
You appreciate things you may have taken for granted

-Learn a new language
Depending at the place are you gonna stay,they may talk a different language than yours, for that reason you are forced to learn that language to communicate with them.


CIA head John Brennan warns Trump to watch his tongue

Donald Trump is known for making comments on issues of national importance on his Twitter feed. CIA director,John Brennan, has warned Trump that he has to avoid tweets and comments once he becomes in charge because that spontaneity wasn't in the interests of national security. 

USA intelligence report that Vladimir Putin, Russian President, had probably attempted to influence in the elections against Hillary, but Trump had underplayed that information for months and he only accepted them at a news conference on Wednesday. The CIA says that he has no reasons for point fingers to CIA because the information that they shared were already public.

Finally Brennan remarks that "talking and tweeting" wasn't an option for Trump, who takes office next Friday and he has to understand that when he speaks or reacts the implications and impacts on United States could be profound, referring to one of the tweets that Donald is equating the intelligence community with the Nazi Germany.


OPINION: I think that Donald Trump is a public image and for that reason he has to avoid

inappropriate opinions and interventions because he can make a lot of problems and foes.
