Mamma Mia! Does Your Mother Know?


Agnetha, Giant Lollipop and Creepy Dolls

Most artist have probably been talked into doing weird photo shoots which they have regretted afterwards. It would surprise me if Agnetha is as happy with this one as the rest of us are, today.










Let me leave you with this bonus photo of all of the A:s and B:s all wrapped up and ready to go...

At Least I Never Played With These











Y
es, you are right - this is a re-post. So what?! More re-posts if they are this good!

I'll Be Hornswoggled!!

I'll be dog-gone!! I did not know that there was a "Big Jim" doll made from the Zeb Macahan character (James Arness also known from Gunsmoke) - the sturdy old trapper with a limp - in the 70s TV series How The West Was Won.

By the way, the series was called Familjen Macahan in Sweden and was extremely popular and then again we didn't have much to choose from in those years.

I Played With Dolls

I had probably just about forgotten about it, and then it all came to me. With it a strong urge to go to some meeting and purge myself - "My name is P-E Fronning and I play with dolls". Well, I don't actually, anymore. But I used to. Big Jim was his name. I really longed for the soldier type doll like Action Man, but what I got was Big Jim - a muscular, handsome man in his prime who would do a karate chop when you pushed the button on his back. Of course I didn't reflect on it then but I get a lot of gay vibes from Big Jim and his friend Josh. I don't know. Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing with my doll. I had a gorilla and a net catapult to catch it with and a van for cruising. There was also a camping set so you could make your own grub. Ah, and then I got a second doll and I just can't remember his name. He was a sailor/pirate who had lost one arm to a shark; so now he had a metal/wooden arm that you pushed inwards to shoot it out with a fierce and lethal force (see update!). Ok, I've come clean; what do you have to confess?
