Beauty Blog Mascot or Fussy Tabby: Who Is Tabs the Cat?

Wed, 10/22/2008 by Karen | Posted in: Just For Fun

International fashion icon and beauty diva Tabs (short for tabby cat) moonlights as my pet — or, more accurately, he allows me to moonlight as his person. When he’s not jet setting to Paris or Milan for photo shoots or partying with his fashion friends on the banks of Italy’s Lake Cuomo, he’s here with me, cleaning burs from his bottom and daydreaming about hummingbirds and sunny windows.

Each Sunday afternoon Tabs shares photos from his portfolio. Here are 10 of the beauty and fashion modeling jobs that helped turn Tabs into the feline superstar that he is today (click here to view the gallery).

I love the Tabs for MAC one!

And thanks for telling me about the individual bottles of Philosophy Pumpkin shower stuff. My fiance was so enchanted by the smells that I got the Cinnamon Bun one too. Officially its for me but…we all know who its really for.

Aw, he’s so cute! In the Lancome pix, he has Liz Taylor’s purple eyes. You should ask him to have a Catster account then all the ladies will want to party with Tabs >^<

<3 tabs for life.
love the nonchalant, slightly snobby, imperious cat look. it’s true what they say, cats choose their people!
9. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Indian Girl,

LOL, now only if I could just get him to take his own Armani suits to the dry cleaners!
10. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Almira,

Aww, I think if you met him you would like him. He’s very gentle and sweet.
11. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Tami,

I know! Who knew one could rock both the tabby stripes and the tweed. He’s fashion forward, I tell ya.
12. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Tekoa,

You’re so welcome! I’m glad that you were able to snag a bottle. That’s really sweet that you bought a bottle for the boy, too.

I should get El Hub his own bottle of Bobbi Brown Beach Shower Gel. That way he won’t have to use it on the DL.
13. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Dao,

LOL! Then he would never let me use the computer… he’d be checking his friend requests all the time!
14. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Jenny,

I like that one, too. I guess I was destined to have a cat that also loves accessories.
15. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Olivia,

Thanks! Tabs is on my lap right now and sends you some virtual {{kitty love}}.
16. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Ines,

Aw, Tabs loves you back! He sends his kitty love.
17. Elena said, on October 22nd, 2008:

LOLOL! I love these pictures. He’s totally smiling in the last one with you guys together. Karen, you are a whiz at photo editing, too, maybe you should consider making us a second blog just for that.
18. Karen said, on October 22nd, 2008:

Hi Elena,

That would be fun! I could do all sorts of weird stuff with Tabs, and with other random things, LOL!

How’s your day been? I’m so ready for the weekend.

Hey Karen,

I can’t wait for the weekend, either, though I have a dentist appointment early Saturday (blah! lol ). I was sick in bed all day (boo) but am in the library now finishing up an assignment for tomorrow. I’ve been rocking a bold red lip lately as a way of compensating for being sick, though. I love that whole lipstick in alcohol trick the MAC counter taught me.

How was the training going this week? Did the new girl pick up quickly?
21. rysch said, on October 23rd, 2008:

Tabs should model for Cover Girl! That was awesome!
22. justine said, on October 23rd, 2008:
