When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.
This person for example has opted for βΓΎjΓ³Γ°hetjaβ. It means βNational Heroβ.

The two central photos show a pink barbie doll packaging box, front and back, with the doll inside. The back of the packaging features a photo of the book cover (a man in a suit swinging a lady in a pink dress up in the air amidst a night backdrop).The two left images depict a full shot of the Barbie doll (who has a bob haircut, pink earrings, sparkly pink tulle dress with a scallop edged hem, and pink heels with blue soles) and a close-up of the high heels. The two right images show a close-up of the scallop edge of the dress, while the other photo is a close-up of the upper part of the dress and doll.
