With the "Sandwich" column, the prominent last page of the magazine has been given new content. Michèle Roten and Claudia Senn take it in turns to write about topics that concern people in midlife. Roten, former Annabelle-producer and author of the Tagi-column "Miss Universe", is looking forward to the new platform: "I want to give an insight into what it's like to live in this world as a woman who is no longer quite so young." Senn, longstanding Annabelle-editor and now works for Zeitlupe and as a freelance author, wants to encourage people with her personal texts: "I want the column to be fun and give older women a voice. It should also be radically personal."
