Benny Andersson had just cut his hair. To his right Lasse Samuelsson leader of the Orks (exccuse me: the conductor)

ABBA - the pop group

.

ooooh-waaa! ABBA's back up singers in 1977: Lena Andersson, Lena-Maria Gårdenäs and Maritza Horn

My life will never be the same

Money money money, phew, an overworked subject....

Annifrid Lyngstad who has become one of Sweden's richest girls:

I'm not ashamed of my money

.

.

Frida likes cool clothes and nice things and she can afford it. She got six million crowns when Benny and she had a legal separation*

.

what's richer than one Frida? Two Fridas **

.

Frida loves clothes. She changes often and she likes that. She prefers trousers and soft furs. Like this red fox***

.

singing that song with that other rich girl

.

.

* Frida and Benny had a separation from bed and board in the beginning of 1980.

** She's of course not the richest by far. Look at all those billionaires!

***Yeah, I know this little fox is dead. Or actually those foxes are dead. I bet Frida is burning a candle for him every night. (d'uh)

Benny & Frida kissing?

Why does everybody wants pictures of them kissing? They haven't been together for over 25 years!

I guess it's nostalgia...

( by the way I've run out of kissing pictures, these are the absolute last ones, unless I find something new of course )

.

.

to start with it's Frida kissing someone else!

(Magnus Harestam in Jokerfejs)

.

.

Frida: I really feel like doing it

(doing what dear?)

.

Frida was in a state of shock, Benny couldn't stop hugging and kissing Frida after winnig Eurovision.

.

Benny: erm...gosh...erm...boy!

.

one of the classic park bench kiss photos

It’s the best I can do

Stuff like that

(also song by Quincy Jones I happen to like a lot, which has nothing to do with ABBA of course)

.

.

two birds watching a couple of birds ( boy do I have a way with words ;-)

A trip through space and time

Ohmygod this is so clever! The Story of ABBA in one small collage.

Autumn’s chilly winds were blowing through the trees

C-c-c-cold outside!

Nothing is better than your boyfriend's sweater.

hot or cold? that's the question

the best way to keep yourself warm

They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul

She just can't sit still.

Everybody’s pet

SMILE!

.

Smile at will

.

.

and a little more

.

Oooh yeah, a bit to the left please...

.

now hold that hand...there!

.

perfect!

Look at the way that she smiles

Grattis Frida!!

ABBA's very own princess (oh ja!) is 62 today!

One look and you’re hypnotized

Eyes!

.

.

She could see it with her very own eyes...she put on the wrong colour eyeshadow

.

.

Agnetha, as far as the eye can see

.

keeping her eyes open

.

his.. eyelids... were.... becoming...... heavy

.

her eyes are bigger than her stomach, or actually those grapes are bigger than her stomach

I’m the quiet kind, wo-oh

This and that and family

.

Going for the Guinness Book of Records: as many popstars on a staircase as possible

Why carry that bag yourself when there are men around?
