Google Doodle celebrates Portuguese singer Antonio Variacoes’s 79th Birthday

Google Doodle is celebrating the 79th birthday of Portuguese singer, hairdresser, and songwriter António Variações. While Variações did not witness many diverse styles during his growing up years owing to heavily censored media in Portugal that did not show people wearing clothes outside the traditional norms, the legendary singer developed his unique fashion sense when he travelled to London and learned in hairdressing in Amsterdam where he experimented with different styles. After his return to Lisbon, Variações had a distinct fashion sense that included him donning two-toned facial hair, large metal accessories and bold colors and prints. Road to fame: Variações worked at the first Portugal unisex hair salon before opening his own salon - É Pró Menino e Prá Menina.
