The women's magazine Annabelle will be seventy years old in 2008. As a gift to mark the start of the anniversary year, celebrities have designed the first issue of the coming year. They have turned their hobby into a profession for the magazine, as Annabelle announced. Federal Councillor Hans-Rudolf Merz, for example, has written a short story. Hard-core feminists may not like the content: The protagonist is mistaken for a casino boss in New York, picked up at the airport in Las Vegas by an attractive brunette and finally arrested by a blonde policewoman on horseback. An excerpt: "Sue runs her hands through her breezy hair, tripping hip-swiveling and lasciviously toward her convertible. She pulls me menacingly behind her."
Director Michael Steiner has not written, but staged a fashion series. Inspired by fashion and war photographer Lee Miller, Steiner evokes the 1930s in his images. Manager Heliane Canepa contributes an interview with football coach Bernard Challandes. And actress Stephanie Glaser test drives the new Fiat 500.
Other contributors include cabaret artist Emil Steinegger, author Zoë Jenny, US Vogue boss Anna Wintour and comic artist Mike Van Audenhove. The celebrity issue of Annabelle will be on newsstands from December 19.
