Google commemorates the 116th birthday of American designer Altina 'Tina' Schinasi, renowned for her iconic 'cat-eye' eyeglass frame,

through its August 4 Doodle. Born in 1907 in Manhattan, New York, to immigrant parents, Schinasi's artistic journey began in the streets of Manhattan and eventually led her to the vibrant art scene in Paris, where she pursued her passion for painting after completing high school.

During her time as a window dresser for various stores on Fifth Avenue in New York City, she refined her artistic skills at The Art Students League and had the privilege of working with artistic giants like Salvador Dalí and George Grosz, who influenced her creative vision.

The idea for the "cat-eye" eyeglass frame came to her during her work as a window display designer. She noticed that women's eyeglasses were limited to round frames with uninspiring designs, prompting her to create a fresh and unique option for women. Inspired by the captivating shape of Harlequin masks worn during the Carnevale festival in Venice, Italy, she envisioned eyeglass frames with pointed edges to accentuate and flatter the wearer's face.

Despite facing multiple rejections from major manufacturers who considered her design too unconventional, a local shop owner recognized its potential and signed an exclusive agreement for six months. The Harlequin eyeglasses quickly gained popularity and became a fashion sensation among women in the US during the late 1930s and 1940s.

Her invention brought her significant recognition, including the prestigious Lord & Taylor American Design Award in 1939, and acknowledgment from renowned publications like Vogue and Life.

Schinasi also ventured into filmmaking, producing a documentary titled "George Grosz' Interregnum" about her former teacher, artist George Grosz. The film earned an Academy Award nomination and won first place at the Venice Film Festival in 1960.

As the years passed, she continued exploring new artistic pursuits. In her later years, she wrote her memoir, "The Road I Have Traveled," offering insight into her extraordinary life journey. Additionally, she volunteered as an art therapist, using her creative talents to help others.

Altina Schinasi's cat-eye design remains influential in fashion accessory trends worldwide, nearly a century after its inception. Google celebrates her as a visionary and pays tribute to her enduring legacy.

Hannah, 23

“I’m wearing a blazer set that’s from Ledin, my shoes are from Newbella, and my earrings are vintage. I’m really inspired by 60s Japanese preppy fashion right now. I love the school uniform collegiate vibes and mixing in my femininity with lace, pearls, and bows!”

"Tomas Ledin's comeback breakthrough is as tragic as when Karl XII lost the battle of Poltava. Ledin as a lyricist is nothing but embarrassing." ~ Thåström [Aftonbladet, 1992]

which song do you think Omar chose and which one would you like him to choose for allsang pa skansen? :)

Right now I can only think of ”Uti vår hage” since he was so specific that he only had one song he wanted. And I want it to be that one mainly bc I want to see him explain his choice. Flustered Omar is adorable. He also likes Carola, but he did that at Liseberg.

And the song I want him to sing is Talk, if he gets to do two songs then Red Light as his second song. His live vocals are beautiful. It’s an amazing promo opportunity with 20% of Swedes watching the broadcast of the shows. The line up at his show with Molly Sanden, Tomas Ledin, Omar and Peg Parnevik will secure a very large audience of all ages. I usually don’t encourage people to be early at shows, but for this one I make an exception since it would be lovely to have Omar fans close to the stage. Molly and Peg fans will also be in front.

Om Glee utspelade sig i Sverige

Så, det utspelar sig på en gymnasieskola i nån småstad. Småstaden har ingen estet-linje för att ”sånt behöver vi inte här”, så en passionerad lärare gör en körgrupp. Mestadels av eleverna i kören går samhäll eller natur, men det finns också några humanistelever (för jag behöver hum-representation i svensk media). Också för att skämta om mig själv, minst en av hum-eleverna måste gå inrikting kultur och alla kommer va typ ”vadå?? Så du är inte inne på språk, är inte det typ allt hum är?” och de är typ ”nej jag går kultur, vi lär oss om idéhistoria och samtida kulturuttryck… nej det är inte flum…” För skojs skull kan det också vara en elev som ingen är säker på vilken linje de går och ingen vågar fråga

Iallafall, låtar som de 100% kommer sjunga i svenska glee:

- Inget stoppar oss nu av BlackJack

- Fångad av en stormvind av Carola

- Faktiskt de har en hel vecka med Carolatema

- De har en vecka där de bara sjunger Björn Rosenströms låtar och alla tar hans mest olämpliga låtar

- De har 100% en vecka med mellotema. Eller flera veckor

- Diggiloo Diggiley är ett måste att de sjunger

- Julavsnitt där de sjunger sånger som ”vår julskinka har rymt” och ”mer jul” och ”tänd ett ljus”

- Ted Gärdestad temavecka

- Markoolio tema och once again hamnar de trubbel för de har hans mest olämpliga låtar

- Tomas Ledin tema…

- Nån måste sjunga nått av Miss Li

28 57 77 for the asks!! 🥰

Thank u Nina mwah! 💛💛

28. What was the last thing that made you laugh?

I was texting my sister about how every time I hear Tomas Ledin's classic song Sommaren är kort, I remember that it once was as a musical clue in a Swedish gameshow and that one of the questions they had to answer was "how old was the newspaper?" She immediately texted back "GÅRDAGENS BLAD" (yesterday's paper), which is the lyric that is the correct answer, of course. :D

57. Do you believe in ghosts?

Well yes but actually no? I think that imprints of people can live on, but I don't know how or why or in what extent. I guess I'm agnostic when it comes to ghosts.

77. Ever been in love?

I think so, yes. I think we both just grew out of love so long before we actually broke up that it's hard to remember how it felt in the earlier years of our relationship now.

Make me admit stuff!

3. a song that reminds you of summertime

oh. i'm sorry but i'm gonna have to say like. a few songs 😅 (and all of them in swedish...) 'cause there are a few songs that just ARE summer to me (and to most swedes tbh).

gyllene tider - sommartider ted gärdestad - sol, vind och vatten tomas ledin - sommaren är kort gyllene tider - juni, juli, augusti

(i could easily have added like. 10 more. we take our summertime music REAL seriously here 'cause our summers are so short 💀)

15. a song that is a cover by another artist

i could give sooo many answers to this one as well but i'm gonna have to go with-

tina turner - proud mary

'cause it's an amazing cover but it's also a song i've listened to ever since i was a kid.

29. a song that you remember from your childhood

again, sooo many good options but-

beyonce - irreplaceable

was probably one of my most played songs as a kid 👀 (tho special shoutout to 'tokio hotel - monsoon' or 'ne-yo - so sick' or. ANYTHING from linkin park)
