Per and family featured in calendar against street violence

Written by robban on November 14, 2007 to Per Gessle.

STOCKHOLM - Per Gessle with family Åsa and Gabriel are in Caroline Roosmark's 2008 calendar "The Women and Men of the Year 2008." This year's edition is dedicated to 16 year old Riccardo Campogiani who was meaninglessly killed on the streets October 7, 2007. "Per usually doesn't do things like these," Caroline says, "but this time he's been very into it. He spent days picking out a good wig!"

As you can see Per, "pop legend," is dressed in a Mozartesque style, with a "guitar" of course (It's called a lute.) He is in May's picture.

You can order the calendar at Caroline's site, 15 SEK of every calendar will go to the foundation of Riccardo Campogiani's memory. The Daily Roxette does not know if Caroline ships outside of Sweden.

Cool concept and nice picture (except for the too light parts in the sky) and a kinda »familar« style for me, because the »Mozart City«, Salzburg, is the neck of my woods so to say. Thumbs up.

It even says in the article it’s Gabriel so I think is safe to say.

Haha, sorry. Sometimes we read so fast that we miss certain things. By the way, the guy looks like Per Gessle, doesn´t he? :P

Nice pic...I’m not sure it’s Mozart he’s going for, maybe Louis the 16th pre-beheading?

Looks vaguely like that guy in Roxette doesn’t he?

joyrider said on November 14, 2007 20:58:

Maybe Per should display Mozart’s father (Leopold) and Gab is the wunderkind Mozart. But who cares anyway ... ;-)

If Per ever covers Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus”, he should consider these clothes for the video, hehe. :P
