I was shocked when I saw her in the news, because of her black hair and dark eyes, but evidently most people think that she’s got dimples=cute, and she’s got great eyes=almond shaped.

I can’t agree more that it was a bit of a shock that she would represent Iceland, however, I’ve seen lots of Icelandicians and they’re a mixed bunch (red, brown, blonde) and ALL beautiful…the cuteness factor in Iceland is very high, and your gals don’t wear too much makeup either; in parts of the US we’ve got makeup problems at the age of 12.

;) thanks Stephane.

Thank you Stéphane! :)
Actually this has reminded me that I must call them to chase up photographs that they promised my daughter in exchange for modelling that she did for Free a Year Ago! It’s been a full year and every time it’s the same answer: I’ll look into it and get back to you. And they never do. The mind just boggles…

You were right to express your opinion about Eskimo! Even though i guess you’d be faced to the same problems with many other models agencies… But that’s no excuse.

Just for the record, Eskimo (+ Eskimo Casting) is the most inane and infuriating modelling agency in the world. My daughter has done work for them and they are utterly hopeless. They drag payment out as long as possible (they make you sign a contract that you will not demand payment for work for 3 months but even after that length of time you have to nag them repeatedly to get paid), they don’t deliver on promises (too many exmples to recount here), whenever I have called them about any issue they promise to get back to me and NEVER do… in short, they are utterly incompetent. Sorry to use this comment box to vent, but whenever I see Eskimo mentioned I SEE RED.

there’s a website for ALL of the icelandic beauties, http://www.ungfruisland.is, and the other girls i think are a lot prettier and more icelandic looking. but hey i’m not complaining, any good press for iceland rocks.

it’s funny when a brunette icelander wins a miss world concert, and a brunette/black haired icelander is the most popular icelander in the whole entire world (bjork) (or if not bjork, lief ericsson, haha), because i think everyone’s perception of icelanders is that they are all blonde hair and blue eyes.

that’s swedish folks!! hahah.

anyway yay for unnur. she is rather pretty, just not as pretty as the other icelandic miss icelands on that website. but hey she beat out puerto rico.
