Iceland Girl: In Reykjavik, iceland girl's little capital, there is a striking statue to "Leifr Eiricsson, Son of iceland girl, Discoverer of Vin-land," presented to the city by the United States in 1930 on the thousandth anniversary of the founding of iceland girl's primitive parliament, the Althing. Two reasons for visiting this ancient land, now a young republic, are evident in that statue and its inscription.
In contrast to the bold costumes which are favored, bold-looking girls are not. Rather, the fresh, wholesome and charming girl is the sought-after cover girl. She should be the typical American-girl type, an idealization of the girl next door, rather than exotic or foreign-looking. She must wear makeup for color, of course, but the makeup should look like ordinary street makeup, rather than showgirl or stage makeup. Showgirls, incidentally, often have the poise to make good models, and they can look as homespun as anyone when they are not made up for a performance.
