and old age.

Everyday the hold is getting tighter

Agnetha and Frida as background singers....

Things you can do with an old curtain

Interesting fact nr. 205 - or something

Special guest at the ABBA Fanclub day this year was Inmarie Halling. Ingmarie went on tour with ABBA a couple of times as make-up artist and stylist. She told us (0f course!) some very amusing anecdotes. For instance about the spandex costumes A&A wore in 1979. They were really really tight. Apparently the costumes weren't closed with a regular zipper but with hooks and eyes. It took ages.
At one of the gigs people made an improvised dressing room near the stage made of large white pieces of cloth. Very convenient for the girls so they didn't have to walk very far to change in between songs. So Frida had to change from the white to the blue leotard, hurry hurry. She stood there half naked, tugging, pulling and wriggling to get in when they suddenly realized there was a lamp shining from behind. The audience on that side of the stage could watch an interesting shadowplay.
Frida from a different angle!

Ooh, I'm riding higher than the sky

You see, very clever: you have the name ABBA and the magic formula abacadabra and voilá....!

Flying high high she's a bird in the sky

(innocent little nursery rhyme Agnetha made up)

Rock on!


Who is this man and why is he posing with ABBA?

Hjärtat gjorde en volt, ding-dong bing-bong!

J

SPRING!

During a walk in the park, Benny and Frida saw two midgets! Affectionately they called them Björn and Agnetha.

.

Believe it or not, those girls really could sing.

Back in the good old bra-less seventies.


Oh Lord, please don't make Frida loose her wig again!

Ring ring, ring ring

Ring ring, ring ring

Frida, Benny and a concert?

That spandex top looks familiar

I know what this is! A boat!

My advice is to take good care

A little patience my friends, in a few more years we're rich and famous and other people will carry our bags.

.

What's she up to?

.

Oh, if only I had a brain I would know what he was talking about....

.

you know, sometimes....

.

Is it a woman? Is it a man? No, it's a Björn wearing scary make-up!

I couldn’t help it
