You’re shinin’ like a star in the night

Oh boy, I felt a sudden urge to do some Frida!

She was calling me with that chocolate voice wrapped in velvet: Bonnie! Bonnie! Post some more pictures of moi.

So I had no choice. Who can resist her?

Frida in Japan

Bikini Frida in Australia. Look at those upper arm muscles! It is so obvious she worked out a lot with that microphone stand!

Ah, so sweet but yet so f***** glamorous

Need I say more?

Big smile, the famous smile actually,

and I don't mean Lasse's.

No offence Lasse :-)

Gonna jump down, spin around...

Those dance moves! Awesome!
Of course there was Graham Tainton to teach them all about moving about on stage.
I still love that little dance at the end of So Long. A masterpiece.
Or the S.O.S. move. Too bad they ditched those special routines at the end of their career.
You know, they could do without Graham, by then they were skillful balletdancers themselves!

But she’s still something special

The best looking women in showbiz, at that time.

They were the face of ABBA, and the voice of course.

B&B wrote those delcious tunes, but lets face it, they were not as good looking as A&A!

Putting on the famous Blue Eyeshadow.

Oh that henna-red hair...

and that lucious blonde hair...

The Rabbit and the Fox

Yeah, we love you too Frida!

I'm seeing songs.

But ABBA is about music, I hear you say.

Talking about fashion, money, sex (excusez le mot) is alright, but it all started with that fabulous music.

The songs, the catchy melodies, the hamonies made in heaven: that is ABBA!

The problem is, you cannot show music.

Or maybe you can...

"...and in heaven there is no beer..."

Who said ABBA's lyrics could be found on the back of a cornflakes package? Huh huh?!

The ladies at their very best.

You just got to love them!

Wow! People actually buy our records....

Agnetha looking lovely pretending she can really play these things!

Aha -aaah-haa!

They were the best aha-ers ever!

It’s a rich man’s world!

OK, let's come straight to the point: ABBA was rich.
Heck, they still are.
But that is all in the game: they made the records, we bought the records -by the truckload-, they made some money.

I'd say, good for you guys!
Oh and by, the way can I borrow your credit card?

Frida, very star-like, stepping from private jet. Holding Gucci bag of course, naturellement!

Hellooooo! We're here!! Just enjoying ourselves on our yacht, nipping some terribly expensive champagne from a good year!!!

The girl next door? I think not!

Not next to me anyway :-(

It was after all called 'The girl with the golden hair'

Aha! There's Frida's famous fur again. Again? She's wearing the same fur more than once?

Well, at least they are driving a limo!

But in the end it's love that count's

(cliché!)

Are you sure you wanna hear more..

From Joepie magazine 1980, reveals:

Frida sunbathes naked

In a heart to heart interview for Swedish radio, Frida of ABBA told she has an even tan all over her body. In other words she sunbathes naked!
“I do it for Benny, he likes it better that way” according to Frida.
“The two of us sail our boat deep into the see. Then when we are miles away from nowhere I take off all my clothes and I sunbathe.
When another boat passes by it doesn’t matter because I’m behind a screen”

*-------------------------*

Things you wanted to know about ABBA but were afraid to ask! ;-)

Dum dum diddle to be your fiddle

Yes, show us the way of The Benny!

You put your left hand here, you put your right hand...eh where do you put your right hand...

Benny teaching the other three to play the accordeon.

Hey, this is handy!
Benny: Ooh look at this!

Björn: -snigger-

Dummi-dum-dummi, dummi-dum-dum

Just some nice pictures in random order!

Agnetha raises her glass to 1980

Cheers Ags!

Oops! Caught in the act?

This one is for Ellen. Björn in kinky black leather!

I told you to pack my purple undies!

Hey it's Benny and he's flying. In a helicopter. That's soo Arrival!

You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

They didn't use any drugs ( they said) but did have an occasional drink. And they smoked, and drank Coca Cola. They sunbathed ( so bad for your skin dear) but also worked out. At least some of them!

I remember all the games we used to play

For once I will throw my principles overboard and show a picture I did not scan myself.

Found it while browsing the Net and could not resist it.

Look at Benny!

And I...smiled like Mona Lisa

This was I think at the wedding of Anders and Gorel Hanser , spring 1980.

Agnetha and boyfriend Dick look like a handsome couple.

Benny and Frida think it's a scream -not!

Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey.

Now why is everybody always talking about ABBA's awful dress sense?
This was only about the Waterloo costumes wasn't it?
Maybe the outfit they wore with Ring Ring also counted, but after '75 I would say they were perfectly normal clad popstars.
Bit of glitter and a bit of glam that's all.

And as for their casual clothes: I'm not ashamed to admit that I would consider wearing them today!


Agnetha and Frida in the studio 1977. Frida in sleevless shirt and skirt with floral print. Looks OK.
Agnetha is pregnant so she can wear whatever she wants without people saying "oh she looks awfull/ fat/cheap/sloppy!"


B, F & B in TV show 1977. Nice jacket Benny! Frida looks a bit tidy, women today would at least show some cleavage on TV, but she fine. Björn, well Björn is Björn. Need I say more?

Ah summer in Sweden 1978! Björn wearing his favorite dungarees, thank God we never saw Benny wearing them ;-) Agnetha in very nice top, but trousers to tight, cameltoe alert! Frida fashionable as ever (?) in white overall. Benny, saying "...mmmm, darn good...!" is again very proud of his hairy chest. Trousers ín boots is an fashion item today!


I just luuuurve her overall (1980)! This looks totally cool on her! Colour is very nice too. A+ !!

Frida in pink dungarees 1978. I know they were high fashion in the seventies, everybody had them. And it suits her well, in fact a bin liner would have looked good on her!
It's the cap that bothers me I guess...

You come to look for a king.

This one is especially for my friend Yvette:
Frida: ABBA's one and only gorgeous Princess!

Yes, it's her again. She was the voice and the beauty of ABBA. The one everybody remembers. She sang solo on almost all of ABBA's hits.
She is still as popular as she was during the seventies and what's more she is a real princess.
She is Frida AKA Anni-Frid Lyngstad Prinzessin Reuss Gravin von Plauen!
Amen!

Getting ready to take the salute in her ermine coat.

Only a princess, but already referred to as a queen.

Still a modest girl, in spite of everything.

Note the regal features.

OK, that is a bra strap showing. Not very regal but hey this whole princess thing was just a joke anyway!
