I didn't see women in Iceland that were too skinny. In fact I didn't find them pale either, they kind of reminded me of Swedish women in that they have these natural tans to go with that white blonde hair. To me, Iceland and Sweden...six of one, half dozen of the other.

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.
