Let me show you that I know how

10!

.

Yes it's 10 times ABBA in black and white. . .

.

(oh and by the way tomorrow I'll be leaving for Sweden so see you in two weeks)

.

.

This pic really focuses on the shorts doesn't it? Like, hey look at those shorts but what is that woman doing there? ;-)
.


Although without the men this one is 100% ABBA
.
.

I bet they never actually stood like this.

.

watch out for Benny's piano. Not!

.

I'm not so charming and you're not so groovy...

Hurray, it's another windy rainy airport!

before....

and during the perm

Frida clearly seducing....who?

.

It's the eighties: she's wearing a bra!

Afraid of a love affair

So you survived the 4th of July? I mean the ABBA 4th of July? Good.

I did too.

.

.

But how about B,A,A &B? What did they think about it? It wasn't that scary was it.

.

.

A&A:like they there never was a "break" at all!

. Party animal

.

Was it love or was it show?

.

So she has a new lover....

To make such a lot of money

Super stars!

.

.

As a superstar, you're supposed to look as fresh and sexy as this

.

.

Yeah, they can look like they have an attitude if they want to!

.

.

Only real stars can wear white and gold...

.

and get away with it.

.

Only super stars can stand quite casually in front of some giant cubes and actually look like stars.

Every song opens a door

Sooooooooo ABBALICIOUS!

(But where's Benny?)

A trip through space and time

masters of the sceeeeeeene

.

.

note the little piece of paper Frida is sitting on: no grass stains on her white jeans that's for sure!

.

not spectacular

.

Slits in their dresses, net stockings, boots, so generous presented the blonde Agneta and the black Anafried from ABBA themselves during their big Germany tour.

Agneta & Anafried??????

.

because of the smile

I can teach you how to rock alright

Frida Tuesday!

.
.

Yeah, see her dance! ABBA's stage animal!

.

.

The stage animal who can be quite a cool chick.

.

a cool chick who likes reading, skiing and music (d'oh)

.

.

music and flashy clothes

.

flashy clothes, which brings us back to the stage animal, who seems to have break here

.

until it's time to be a rock chick again!

Because I always do

Here we go again>>>>

.

.

It's so nice to be rich (rich rich rich)

.

.

Frida just told Silvia a dirty joke, but, a true lady like she is, Silvia completely missed the punch line.

.

Swedens best export products: half of ABBA, Agnetha Fältskog and Annifrid Lyngstad and our ski champion Ingemar Stenmark were showered with flowers and prizes at the spring party.

-yes, and the best of it all is, I can stand next to two gorgeous women!

.

BAAOBA: three couples conquer the world with their great music. But where on earth did they get that name from?

.

Hmmm, what a perculiar taste this ice cream has....

Viernes noche y adonde ir

It's Frida Friday and not just a regular Frida Friday but the Frida Friday before Roo!!!!

.

.

Watch it! Your hat falls off!

.

New!!!: The Frida bookend.

.
.

Well it's just her looking gorgeous you know

.

Hello i'm Frida I'm CEO of a big Company in Switzerland....

.

Do I know that blonde woman?

One life to live together

A great match!

.

.

check out their wrist watches

.

.

such a nice Swedish couple

.

the dresses, those jackets!

.

ABBA and the audience: made for each other

.

Frida and the microphone stand, need I say more?

If you dream of the girl for you

.

.

Benny is telling Frida a 'dumb blonde' joke. Agnetha is not amused...

.

.

... because she is Da Tiga!

.

Oh. So you want it back then?

.

Applause from Benny-and-Frida for "The queen of showbusiness" Lill-Babs for a great show.

Note: it was Benny-and-Frida before Bennybjörn.

.

Lately Frida and financial comet Bertil Hjert can be seen together. They have been seeing each other for a couple of years.

They were in a steaming hot relationship apparently.

I’m sure you do agree

blablabla

Once upon a time there were four rather uncool looking youngsters...

.

.

Frida is ready to push

.

Ooooooo! Tigers!

.

new dress

.

a moving picture (got it ;-)

Yes it’s driving me crazy

They're only human beings. It's their music, that's what's special.

Yeah sure, but we wanted something nice to look at. Something really really nice!

.

.

something like this

.

.

or these two good ladies

.

why does she turn her back on us? Is she doing that on purpose?

.

well, Frida obviously

.

OK, that's enough. Music!

I feel I’m crackin’ up

Three!

.

.

Wow, that is some freaky artwork

.

.

how small did you say, Agnetha?

.

ROTFL

We all need words of comfort and compassion

The many faces of ABBA

.

.

as real performing artists which is of course the reason we love them in the first place!

.

.

as 4 typical 70s boys and girls

.

as parents: look what Benny just bought

.

but does it fit in the trunk of his car?

.

as professional models

Sing a new song

d'oh!

.

.

Oh it's a dance!

.

They top the charts in four countries, but...

Sweden cannot see ABBA

oh it's ABBA in that picture!

.

oh it's the Heimlich's manoeuvre, I thought he was trying to be her bra

.

oh it's a misprint. Thank god. I thought Agnetha was looking really scary

Maybe you can do something I can’t

So talented!

no doubt about it

.

.

doubted

.

old (?) and wise (??)

.

In her spare time Frida likes to read female writers. But at the moment she studies radio telegraphy. She is thinking of getting her navigation licence this spring. Might come in handy when ABBA wrecks one day.

talented and calculating

.

talented, yes. And pregnant.

I know that everybody’s gonna shout it

Scrumptious!

.

.

but a bit weird though. You know with those wigs and all.

.

.

Mmmmmm....that was such a scrumptious sweet, Agnetha wished she had more...

.

a scrumptious or luscious belly-button that's the question

.

repeat after me: LLLLLLLuscious!

.

I'm a tiger. With flapping capes and glittering scarfs Frida and Agnetha sing into the green lights. The audience roars and the sound increases with many decibels . Of course The Beatles were popular. But that was before ABBA!

Pourtant, j’ai bien tenté de résister mais en vain

From the Official Fanclub Magazine nr 93, December 2007

"Frida described the fans as "very faithful" and said that most of the letters she was still getting, some of which amazingly from teenagers, were rather lovely. However, both she and Björn found it difficult to understand what made the fans 'tick' - in some cases for more than 30 years- as neither had had an idol during their teenage years.

"It's peculiar thing that you mean so much to people that you don't even know [...]"

OK, it's official: I'm a freak.

.

.

I've tried, I've really tried. But it's that music, I can't help but listen to it!

.

.

The music and that voice...

.

and that voice....you know what I mean?

.

this one I made only 26 years ago, see, not 30. (not that it proves anything)

.

Now look what you've done. Yes you, with your Swedish wholesomeness and perfect music: you have turned me into a Fan For Live.

AAAAaaaaaaaaaRrRRrrrrrGGrrrrrgggggggg!!!!!!!!

How we love you

ABBA in concert 1977

( note the boy's mascara, cute )

.

.

Benny Andersson, all round music man and easy going personality. Usually has this rosy look. The groups anchor.

.

.

Frida- Annifrid Lyngstad shyly sensual, dances this song almost professionally. Sparkling red hair matches the white stage clothes.

.

Björn Ulvaeus-Little Branch called after Stikkan Andersson who has got the nickname The Branch. Still has his accent from Västervik after all these years.

.

Agnetha Fältskog, youngest ABBA member. Writes her own hits when she has inspiration. Has left little Linda in the safe hands of a nanny during the tour.

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
