Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Quebec!


(Every year, on the 24th of June, all Québécois get together with friends and family to celebrate their Fête Nationale (National Holiday); la Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The event originated more than 2000 years ago, in pre-Christian Europe, as the pagan celebration of the summer solstice. It was originally held on the 21st, but with the arrival of Christianity, it transformed into Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, and moved to the 24th. The two events did have several things in common after all. Both celebrated the symbol of "light"; the sun of the summer solstice and Saint-Jean-Baptiste who opens the way for the light of Jesus-Christ. The ancients used to light a great bonfire on the evening of the 24th to honour the sun, a tradition that continued into the Middle Ages. Also, this year marks the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. Visit here for details of the city's program/events in celebration of this historic milestone and here for recommended hotels.)

Justine

(Justine is a lovely model from Montreal managed by Next Canada. Of course, it is all subjective, but I simply like her vibe, not to mention those incredibly long eye lashes!)





(Next Canada (from where these images were sourced) first opened its doors in Montreal in 1999, before opening a second office in Toronto in 2000. With top models like Yasmin Warsame, Renee Lacombe, Vanessa Perron and Santa Auzina, Next quickly became Canada’s preeminent modeling agency. Update: Photographer, Carlo Hindian; Hair & Makeup, Amelie Ducharme and Styling, Sophie Lanza. Keep returning for more news on Canadian models!)
