Adam McMahon. I don’t know much about him except that he’s a fitness model, and he’s been doing it for a very long time.
That, and the fact he makes me tingle … down there.
Just sayin’.

An New-Fashioned Wedding


There's something in the air in Iceland, and it's not just ash.
As you may have heard, Iceland has legalized same-sex marriage--which of course, as the no-brainers like to say, caused a volcano to erupt--earlier this year.
Well, to set the standard, and to mark the occasion, newly-elected Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir just married her longtime partner, Jonina Leosdottir last Sunday, which was the same day that the same-sex marriage law came into effect.
Leosdottir and Sigurdardottir have been in a registered partnership since 2002, and while they had the same rights as heterosexual couples, their partnership was never considered equal to a formal marriage.
Until now. And, even better than that? No one cares. It wasn't a big whoop-de-do. it was a simple ceremony where two people, who are in love, and in a committed relationship, got married.
In fact, the only statement released about the ceremony was from Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir herself, who said: "I have today taken advantage of this new legislation."
Just another day. Just another happy couple. Just another marriage.

Iceland Goes all Gay Marriage

Iceland, the only country in the world to have an openly gay head of state, passed a law last week granting same-sex partners the right to get married in a vote which met with no political resistance.
Huh? What? Huh?
Iceland? More progressive than the United States.
The Althingi parliament voted 49 to zero to change the wording of marriage legislation to include matrimony between "man and man, woman and woman," in addition to unions between men and women.
Of course, Iceland also is the first country in the world to elect an openly gay head of state back in 2009 when Social Democrat Johanna Sigurdardottir [pictured above] became prime minister. Her sexual orientation garnered far more interest among foreign media than in Iceland, where the attitude toward homosexuality has grown increasingly relaxed in the past two or three decades.
"The attitude in Iceland is fairly pragmatic," said Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson, a political scientist at the University of Iceland. "It (gay marriage) has not been a big issue in national politics -- it's not been controversial."
Not.Been. Controversial.
Iceland. Who knew?
