Cameron Russell

I remember hearing some interview where she said she was 5'10" now but everyone still thought she was short because she was really short (for a model) when she started, but then she grew a bunch

Thursday, September 13, 2007 Cameron Russell and Robin Chase A supermodel, a CEO, and a motley Cantabrigian crew carpool to Walden Pond By Carmen Nobel Globe Correspondent A lifelong fan of environmental conservation and natural beauty, Henry David Thoreau would have approved of the odd assemblage carpooling from Cambridge to Walden Pond on this balmy August afternoon. Supermodel Cameron Russell is home for a family visit, having spent most of the summer on international catwalks and photo shoots. In her four-year career she has modeled for designers such as Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and Armani, and graced the cover of Harper�s Bazaar and Russian Vogue. Last month, at 20, she joined DNA Model Management, one of New York�s most elite agencies. Now branded simply as �Cameron,� she�s the sun-kissed star of H&M�s �Summer of Surf� campaign, filmed in Australia. She�s also a part-time student at Columbia University, planning an eventual double major in economics and creative writing. Today Cameron is riding shotgun in her parents� 2002 Ford Windstar, sporting a baggy T-shirt and vintage jean shorts by Levi Strauss and Co. Cameron�s mom is Robin Chase, co-founder of the car-sharing company Zipcar Inc. and CEO of GoLoco.org, an online venture that marries social networking and carpooling. It�s a way to meet new people and save a few pounds of CO2. To that end, the minivan is filled to passenger capacity: Cameron and Chase, along with David Reeves, a project manager for a corporate wellness start-up called Limeade; Zeng Li, a student of extra-solar planetary science at MIT; and yours truly. Husband, father, and GoLoco president Roy Russell is at the wheel. We introduce ourselves as the van begins a slow crawl toward Route 2. Cameron asks Li whether we can move to an extrasolar planet after we destroy our own. Li says no. �If we can�t go to another planet, then what�s the point of finding it?� Cameron says. (Thoreau once said, �What�s the use of a fine house if you haven�t got a tolerable planet to put it on?�) The main Walden beach is packed with like-minded picnickers, so we head down a wooded path and under a barbed wire fence to a sparser strip of sand. Some of us hesitate at the fence. �Come on, guys,� Cameron says, evoking Thoreau�s spirit of civil disobedience. �It�s only a little barbed.� On the beach, Chase offers to share her couscous salad, with tomatoes and basil from her Cambridgeport garden. Cameron takes a big scoop and tells her mom that the salad would be even better with some feta. I�m remembering that a few years ago, Oxford University scientists noted a mitochondrial DNA variant that boosted metabolism among a lucky few. The fashion press called it �the skinny supermodel gene.� Cameron looks over at the outfit her svelte mom is wearing over a bathing suit and says, �Hey, that�s where my skirt went!� Chase removes the evidence and invites her daughter for a swim. �If I get my hair wet now, it�s going to be wet on the train tonight,� Cameron says. She�s due at a catalog shoot first thing in the morning. There�s a page called �Cameron Russell for President in 2032� on Facebook.com. The platform includes �Pro-Lollipop, Pro-Gumball, Anti-Pooping in Pools.� Sharing rides via GoLoco requires a Facebook.com membership. Chase tells us she chose to team up with Facebook because it�s among the best-managed social-networking sites. Cameron agrees. The Facebook management has been pretty good about shutting down faux profiles of people pretending to be her, she says. �People impersonate you on Facebook?� Reeves says. Cameron shrugs. They do. The sky gets darker. Cameron decides to go for a swim after all. She shimmies down to a royal blue bikini (Calvin Klein collection) and wades into Walden Pond. She has those lumbar dimples that you generally see only on the lithe and lovely. They glint in the setting sun. http://www.boston.com/ae/sidekick/insidekick/2007/09/cameron_russell.html Enjoy!!

Yah!! I met her the other day. Didn't have time to write about it until now. She was walking in the west village last week on bleecker and I got the courage up to say hi! First of all, amazing in person. Super tall, which I didn't expect, and she was wearing flats, a cute little knit dress and a leather jacket. She had a very laid back but smart vibe. I walked with her for about a block before she went into a cafe to meet a friend. It was sooo exciting! I wish I had the courage to ask for a picture, but oh well. Anyhow I asked her what campaigns she was shooting and she said Belstaff with Meisel!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically the whole thing was amazing. Now I want to hang out in the west village to see her again. Ok wait, that's too creepy. But anyhow she had amazing style and look gorgeous. People on the street were definitley turning their heads. But she was just cool and sweet.
