We now interrupt our regular programming to bring you a naked service announcement
Friends, no doubt you will be relieved to know that there are no regulations banning Icelandic women from baring their breasts [aka flashing their titz] at public swimming pools across the nation. Phew.
This crucial bit of information came to light following a heated debate in Denmark, where they are apparently all a bunch of uptight puritans. Believe it or not, some swimming pools are demanding that their female guests wear tops when they go swimming. This has sparked quite the controversy, with women showing up by the dozens for the sole purpose of flaunting their breasts in the face of anyone who might consider them the least bit sexy. Because female boobs are not, you know, sexy. They're just ... boobs. For feeding children and such.
With this in mind, Nicelandic women set forth to discover exactly where the limits lay in our fair land, i.e. whether all those ladies who routinely strip off their tops at the Laugardalslaug on sunny days in summer should be tarred and feathered for their audacity. Turns out it's all cool, we're allowed to flash at the pools, but - hear ye hear ye - absolutely not in the Blue Lagoon. Why? Because so many foreign guests go there and they might be offended by the brazen display of Icelandic hooters.
So ladies, remember: at the Blue Lagoon, make sure you get naked in the showers, but put your top on before you go outside. At the pool, get naked in the showers, but put on your top only if you feel so inclined.
AND NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO GO DIG MY CAR OUT OF A SNOWBANK
We had a minor blizzard last night and everything is covered in the white stuff. There was a lot of drifting too, with almost all the snow in our parking lot drifting in behind my car. Incidentally, did you know that running in five inches of snow is an excellent workout? I think I'll make a special DVD - Work It in the Snow with Alda Kalda. Temps currently -1°C [30F] and the sun came up at 10.56, will set at 4.18.
