No, but sometimes I get sick of it, and want to cut my hair off. My friends always convince me not to.

If someone doesn’t book you for something, it’s not because they didn’t like you. Stay confident, you are beautiful.

Michelle Obama, to find out what her plans are as First Lady and what inspires her. Karl Lagerfeld, to get to know him and where he gets his inspiration. Johnny Depp because my sister thinks he’s sexy.

I run and hike whenever I have free time. I love the outdoors.

Jenica VanderMeer
Model of the Issue 3
Born in Niagara on the Lake, Canada
Jenica has been with Ford Models for 3 years. She was discovered while working at her parents fruit stand. Jenica started her career after finishing high school and has been working full time since. Originally from Niagara on the Lake, she now resides in Hamilton with her husband. Although she is based in Toronto she frequents other markets like New York and Europe.
How and when did you know you wanted to become a model?
My desire to work in the fashion industry was more of a self-discovery process. It wasn’t until after I started working that I realized that I enjoyed it.
Where were you discovered?
I was discovered at my summer job working at a fruit stand in Niagara on the Lake.
What do you like most about being a model?
I enjoy the traveling and experiencing new cultures. It has always been something I’ve wanted to do and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to do it.
What has been the greatest experience you have had so far?
My greatest experience has been getting to work with some really great teams. It’s really amazing to see a vision come together into a final product.
What is your fashion dream?
When I first started modeling I wanted to be in a Gap commercial. They looked like they would be a lot of fun. Specifically the "trees" holiday one from 5 years ago.
What was your favorite city you traveled to work to?
I love the food and culture in Milan, Italy, but I would have to say Paris is the most beautiful.
Who is your fashion icon?
I get my inspiration from so many people it would be hard to pick one person. A lot of my inspiration is from friends and other models.
What are your goals in the next 5 years as a model?
In the next five years I’d like to continue modeling but begin to take on a larger role behind the scenes. Possibly in the art direction or mentoring young models.
What are your secrets for a fit and healthy body?
My secrets for a fit and healthy body are eating lots of raw veggies, no red meats, and running. Also, it’s important for me to find time to enjoy the outdoors.
What is your favorite part of your body?
Whenever I see a picture of the back of head I think it’s so cute. Hahaha.
What makes you feel sexy?
My husband.
Is the fashion world what you expected it to be?
The fashion world is great, but there are many challenges in unexpected place.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
I love to sew, craft, quilt and be entrepreneurial. My latest endeavor is an etsy store, called vintageowlery that sells vintage clothing that I find during my travels.
What would you ask yourself that we haven’t asked you in this interview?
Something I can’t live without: my moisturizer.

So many great Canadian newcomers lurking around, hope some of them will find success. They all seem to share a common factor in that they are not quirky or baby faced, but just naturally beautiful and womanly looking Jenica is fantastic, her coloring is beautiful. That runway shot in post #1 is incredible, and shows she is more than capable of breaking through internationally.
