Frida(y) interview

Anni-Frid speaks up – for once.

Yesterday Anni-Frid Lyngstad told about herself and ABBA and played her favourite records in a one hour radio show on P3. She didn’t want to talk about her private live that much anymore to the press.

This time she made an exception for Kjell Dabrowsi in his radio show and had the opportunity to say she wasn’t ashamed to admit she was a conservative, missed Benny, and still loved to be on stage.

-Frida about politics.

I can’t see anything wrong in being a conservative, I can’t see anything wrong in admitting that. All those left wing people like to say out loud that they are better than the conservatives. A lot of them look at the conservatives as a party only interested in money, but I like Gösta Bohman. He is clear and to the point in everything he says.

- Frida about standing on stage

It’s where I vent my exhibiotionism.

Frida reading some Erotisk Literatur.

-Frida about touring.

It’s new airports, which all look the same, it’s limousines, it’s champagne, it’s everything together. It’s routine and therefore boring.

-Frida about gossip papers

The papers, especially those gossip papers, which I absolutely dislike, misrepresent the situation completely when it comes to ABBA and to artists. Those gossip papers have no moral at all.

- Frida about erotic art.

A pleasing relationship between a man and a woman, when described in a beautiful and erotic way can have a positive stimulus. Also in movies that are beautifully filmed, when there is an affair, it’s of course also a stimulus.

-Frida about divorce

When one has lived together with a person for thirteen years then there’s of course a want for that person. There are so many routines and habits that are really difficult to break away from.

-Frida about living alone

It has it’s pros and it’s cons. It may sound egoistic but it’s fantastic to do your own thing. For example do what ever you like, have dinner whenever you like, go to bed whenever you like.

-Frida about working with ABBA
We girls can influence things by saying what we absolutely don’t want to do, but that hasn’t happened very often.

Irritation building

Frida cringes as Benny tells the audience how big his car is.

Yes her grandmother always told her to wear clean underwear!

That nights movie débutante Agnetha Fältskog is surrounded by loving fans when she came to her first movie premiere.

Watch out for Agnetha's garter. Very subtle!

at a certain age you love your pictures to be over exposed

A double lip bite (don't try this at home kids!)

a single lip bite

A little small talk

2009-07-04T23:43:00.002+02:00

cuuuuuute! (for all you sentimentalists)
.

Anni-Frid and Agnetha had to keep up appearances in front of the press of course, you know the catfights and all, but sometimes that was really really hard... impossible actually
.

See what I mean?

What's big and over the top?

End of night a new day dawnin'

2009-07-03T12:29:00.003+02:00

FRRRRRRRIDA(Y)!!!!

some like it red
.
and some like a green complexion
.
OMG her golden teardrop earrings have shrunk!
.
Jeeez, what's with her?
Don't know. Must be that time of the month or something.

Frida and Linda's sneaky tricks.

The grass is mellow

Facts:
Agnetha doesn't have a sister
Frida never watches TV(jag har en TV men jag aldrig använder den)

she's colourful and she shines!
.
so watch it!
.
I do know noooothing. I'm from Jönköping

.
Things you see while in LA
(No Michael Jackson jokes please)

I only wanted to dance and sing

2009-06-30T13:23:00.002+02:00

Me back again!

!
.
check out those lashes and check out the impact they make
.
memories fading away... (I'm a bit nostalgic today, must be the weather)
.
über disco! Of course they didn't have to dance at all, just standing there holding a neon tube and looking sophisticated
.
Papa Fältskog made one mighty fine female back in 1949

Everyday of your life

2009-06-26T20:50:00.004+02:00

What a day that was! Farah dead, Michael dead... All heroes of my youth, well, one more than the other.
Thank god ABBA are still alive as far as I know so Frida(y) can still go on!

Wait a minute, I'm not descent yet!
.
she looks very healthy to me
.
although her hairdresser at that time didn't live very long
.
smile

she isn't resting, she's looking seductive on a couch

I got a feeling I reached the top

2009-06-24T19:55:00.002+02:00

Yeah Frida! Look at us dancing!
.

Oh my god! I'm hideous!

You could never handle my job
.
-This is so moving I couyld cry
-Me too

Remind me again what you do for a living?

Tell me, my friend

2009-06-23T20:05:00.004+02:00

Benny: Nothing makes sense anymore...
.
Frida: I look good with this background!
.
Todays education isn't very well, says Agnetha. See what happens in school, children don't even learn how to spell! But I don't except things that are wrong- I'll try to interfere as much as I can.

Agnetha: My kids are the smartest children in Sweden
.
Agnetha: I'm feeling a bit blurred and hazy today
.
Frida: Wow! That's a great idea for a new hairstyle!

Show me that trick now

A beautiful girl, with a beautiful voice. She's born in 1945 and on this photograph she's only 20 years old and a mother of two who just made her debut in Hylands Horna. She will see much more of the world than that...

Yesterday's picture. But now today's

How can I go on here without you

2009-06-17T23:44:00.005+02:00

New crazy video by me. UMG isn't too happy with this of course so we'll see how long it will stay on the YouTube site.

Watch You Owe Me One!
(stay tuned until the end)

Well, you hoot and you holler and you make me mad

2009-06-16T09:50:00.003+02:00

You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
Well, I'm not the only one here

(Agnetha can't take that s**** anymore)

The bum: how it all started

Speach: "We are of course very happy with ABBA. Not only do they make wonderful music but they also make us, at Polydor, very rich."

the ice cream... erm... time

noblesse oblige

so here's another banquet (but I don't like foie gras! )

don't you just love mascara?

where is the spring and the summer

that once was yours and mine

where did it go I just don't know

oh, come on. Spring and summer are only a few months away!

Be famous, let the world adore you

2009-06-08T15:28:00.002+02:00

Yesterday my youngest son celebrated his 15th birthday (D-day!) So especially for him:
ABBA says hooray.
(if only he would know his mother dedicated a topic on her ABBA blog to him, hilarious!)

Flowers, how thoughtful!

I can fly, I can fly, hurray!
.
Hu?

Hip hip...

...hooray! for tight body suits!

I'm not a coward

2009-06-05T22:57:00.003+02:00

Un-casual Frida(y)

Some people might call this casual. I don't.
.
In 2009 this could be casual

Casual? Moi?

Overdressed? Yes, and we love it!
