When you or I want to learn the tango, we rent a DVD or watch YouTube videos, but international kitty supermodels like Tabs book private lessons with the great Graciela Gonzales and fly down to Argentina for the weekend.
Must. Be. Nice.
Tabs actually had a modeling gig down there for Coca Cola (don’t you just love their ads?), so it was a combination business/pleasure trip. He considered canceling the trip at the last minute to be able to spend more time with his new cat tower at home, but he didn’t want to inconvenience Graciela…
No, that would have been tacky, whereas inconveniencing me to go pick up Tabs from the airport at 11 tonight is apparently not tacky at all. 🙁
Oh, well, maybe he’ll teach me the tango this week. That would be nice.
If you’re interested, here are some new pictures from Tabs’ modeling portfolio. Which one do you like best?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Sarahc says
omg I want that mac feline bag right now!!! soooo cute!!!!
Karen says
Isn’t it adorable? I wish it was real.
Sarahc says
Do you do this all in photoshop Karen? Do you mind if I ask how long it takes?
Karen says
Hey, Sarah. Mostly Photoshop but I also use a program called Skitch to grab bits/pieces of other things like the brand logo names to use in them. They usually take, oh, about 3-4 hours to do five pics, but you know what they say. Time flies when you’re having fun! 🙂
Terri says
An Animal Planet show once featured a woman who spun cat fur into yarn and knitted it into bags. Maybe that’s what the MAC feline bag should be made out of 🙂
Karen says
I would totally buy that cat fur bag!
Heidi says
Okay, Tabs is quite the spokescat… I want all those items!
Karen says
I honestly don’t know where he finds the time to book all these gigs! 😉
amy says
Looks like Tabs has a great portfolio!
Karen says
I’ll tell him you said so, Amy! He’s thinking about putting all of his pics together in an actual coffee table book for his own personal gratification.
Jen says
The Guerlain is my favorite, hands down. If those aren’t the smexiest bedroom eyes I’ve ever seen… 😉 What a talented model!
Karen says
He’s such a good boy! I swear he understands the concept of the camera and knows what I want him to do.
gio says
Love all the photos, but my favourite is the Guerlain one too. He looks gorgeous!
Karen says
Hi, gio! Yeah, I think that’s probably my favorite one too. The contrasting b&w effect with the vibrant bottle looks pretty cool, doesn’t it?
I would so buy that fragrance for the bottle alone!
Kim says
Definitely the Guerlain! I really like their bee, but Tabs puts it to shame. 🙂
Karen says
Tabs just felt that the bee wasn’t appropriate for this particular campaign. He’s a diva, but he does have some good ideas.
Kim says
He’s quite brilliant! I’m just glad he didn’t try to eat the bee to get those Angelina pouty lips. 🙂
Nina says
I cannot pick one favorite ad, Tabs. I <3 `em all!!! 🙂
Karen says
Hi, Nina. Happy Monday! Which one of Tabs’ modeling jobs has been your absolute favorite one of all time? Tabs would love to hear.
Nina says
Just because it fits him to a T (for Tabs) — the Fabulous Felines stint he did for MAC is number one in my book! 😉 My fave is the pictorial outtake where he is reclining while surrounded by the Fab Felines products! <3333
Happy Monday, Karen & Tabs!
Jessica says
I would seriously die to have Tabs as my own kitty!
Karen says
Hi Jessica,
Tabs is so flattered! 😀
Jessica says
LOL my cats would love to have a playdate with him. How about next Saturday 1pm sound good? 😉
Nina says
I love the Guerlain ad! He is THE best cat model ever!!! 🙂
Karen says
LOL… that’s his sexy bedroom face, LOL!
tasha says
What a cute thing!!! This post is the highlight of my day 😀
Karen says
Aww, thanks Tasha. 🙂 Are you a cat lady, too?
Tasha Waage says
I am… BUT hubby is allergic to cats so we can’t have any. I have 2 dogs but one of ’em act likes a cat 😉 I grew up with cats.
mkdallas says
He is the bomb (and master of the universe) in every one of those pics. Somehow, you capture him with these complex facial expressions (pensive, haughty, etc) but he’s so fricking cute that all I want to do is grab him & make farty noises in his belly fur. Which would piss him off, and make me laugh.
Karen says
I bet he’d find all that attention to his belly thrilling!
kali says
I love the makeup bag!! I would so buy that!
Karen says
You and me both, girlie!
Alexandra says
Wow that cat is so photogenic. He could give me some tips lol.
Love the Guerlain one 🙂
Ginnia says
I thought the MAC cat bag was real at first. I was like woah when did I miss that one? LOL! Very creative and excellent graphic skills!
Ginnia says
Oh and I would so buy that Too Faced pallette!
