  2. 0:15 Hi. My name is Cameron Russell,
  3. 0:18 and for the last little while, I've been a model.
  4. 0:24 Actually, for 10 years.
  5. 0:28 And I feel like there's an uncomfortable tension in the room right now because I should not have worn this dress.
  6. 0:37 So luckily, I brought an outfit change.
  7. 0:39 This is the first outfit change on the TED stage, so you guys are pretty lucky to witness it, I think.
  8. 0:46 If some of the women were really horrified when I came out, you don't have to tell me now, but I'll find out later on Twitter.
