In your eyes

The balcony scene from ABBA The Movie

I know for sure Frida was crying.

Jag hör bara Frida i mina lurar!

.

.

Frida's Sunday.

Autumn winds, rain, cold, dark... what we need is a dose of that lovely warm velvet voice. So put on your Djupa Andetag CD or Frida Ensam and feel that soft blanket wrapped around you....(I'm in a poetic mood)

.

.

instead of putting on a CD you could also put on a sweater

.

Can't think of anything cliché here!

.

smoke a sigarette >>>no, STOP, don't, I didn't mean that, I mean smoking is gross!

.

a heartwarming smile

is that fysically possible btw, a smile that warms a heart?

.

Forever ABBA-Frida

I was blind but now I see

The boys luuuurve the Frida

.

.

Poor Ags, she should know by now travelling by plane is much safer than travelling by coach...

.

.

Frida backs off when Björn starts to sing Does your mother know - in the wrong key.

.

she just luuuuurves the man....

.

and the man just luuuuurves the ladies!

Her man is one I admire

Just an ordinary afternoon in the Andersson-Lyngstad houshold, January 1978.

(from The New Yorker magazine)

baby, you can do wonders

Don't worry she is still alive.

.

ABBA, Travolta, Bee gees. Is this nostalgic or what.

Frida doing sign language.

Oh-oh I don’t care

CONCERTO!

.

The way old friends do was sung almost at the end of each concert(1979 tour). It was the perfect photo opportunity for all photographers because finally they were standing close to each other (you know, like old friends do!). Not so perfect for ABBA because by that time they were very sweaty, clearly visible in those tight outfits. But, as someone exclaimed during their '77 tour, 'ABBA does not sweat!'.

The look that he gave her made me shiver

p

Jaha jaså!

Yesterday's pictures turned out too small so I'll make up for it today.

Ooh I can sense something between these two!




College sweater and jeans- and also a silky poplin coat with nice RODENT lining.

OK, I know it was quite normal back then to wear fur but nutria or rodent....Frida was looking for a new coat and thought 'hey I feel like some semi-aquatic rodent fur today'. It puzzles me.

That coat looks lovely by the way.

.

yeah that makes sense: pointing your fake microphone at the fake guitar!

.

I know for a fact this was Japan

Touch me baby, aha

"- I think they're sexy"

"- Sexy?"

(quote from ABBA-The Movie)

she does look cute in those shorts




those hot airbrushed lips...




voulez-vous coucher avec...oh, that was that other song




The girl with the sexy bathing suit (a mini musical)



OMG, he has tits!

Look at this, you haven’t done your bed

Mighty interesting: my teenage bedroom, I was 14. How I loved the huge poster on the left. How I loved them all! How could I ever sleep in a room like that?

One year later I found myself too old for ABBA wallpaper and changed my bedroom drastically.



...but I still loved ABBA

And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me

CRISIS!!!

Crisis? What crisis?

She looks as prosperous as her Swiss bank acount.

Frida and Agnetha recognize the man responsible for investing in Icelandic Landsbanki.

Rock bottom
-We could go back to nature and live as our ancestors the vikings
-Gimme a break. I can't possibly wear my stilettoes when the floors are covered with cow dung.

Ich kam davon wie Napoleon

Feeling sorry for Benny....

Ein Kessel Buntes, 1974, ABBA 'sing' Waterloo with electric razors for microphone, that have only 50 cm long leads by the way. In the DDR at that time electricity apparently went through the air like radio waves.

Pianos were non-existant. Poor Benny.

While Björn looks pretty cool in his pyjamas and just out-of-bed look holding his star shaped guitar, Agnetha and Frida mime and dance to tunes of Waterloo. Benny mimes too although his voice can not be heard during the verses...





If only Frida would look at him, the piano-less man. She probably doesn't recognize him without his keyboard, she's also far too busy with her razor.






four years later
This time singing, for real, in a microphone WITH a lead. Benny holds Frida's waist to make sure she doesn't forget him.
(note Björn and Olivia's entre nous!)

I was happy and proud to be with the boys

So tell me, do they have record players in Europe?

Yes, she actually can sing!

trying to look wet

-Hi, it's me.

-Guess what... yeah I won! You know I was thinking, now with the record deal and all, maybe it'd be better if we get a divorce so I could move to Stockholm and live there all alone and miserable in a tiny appartment until I meet this great guy and we fall madly in love and he has a friend who has a girlfriend too and the four of us are fantastic together as a group...oh, you want me to come home because Lotta is throwing up...
