Dear Diary,
Before I get into the drama-dy that was Christmas 2010, can I just take a moment to bask in the glory of my modeling skills? Observe the evidence: the centerfold pic from my last photo shoot, which I took for the cover of People magazine when they named me “World’s Sexiest Tabby of 2010.”
See how I skillfully raise my paws? The nonchalant look of disinterest and the artful placement of my whiskers? It takes a lot of work to look this hot.
People just don’t seem to get that my life isn’t all jet setting and cat walking; I have to make critical decisions EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Take, for instance, my holiday plans (or lack thereof).
JF (that’s James Franco to you) asked me to hang with him and his buddies in Aspen this Christmas. I really wanted to break in my new snowboard and those Louis Vuitton boots (ya know, the ones with the fur?) I picked up in Paris a few months ago, but due to my assistant’s usual incompetence, I was stuck here in the Bay Area. She couldn’t find a first class flight out of SFO in time, and, you know, I soooo don’t do coach.
It was royally annoying, but one thing that perked me up was this awesome present from my grandparents:
I call them Lolo and Lola, which means “grandfather” and “grandmother” in Tagalog, their native tongue (for the record, I’m half Filipino).
Despite being stuck in the ‘burbs yesterday, all in all, this was a pretty good Christmas. As a matter of fact, I’ve been in such a great mood that I let my assistant hug me for a full two minutes…
…before scratching the crap out of her flabby arm, you know, to show her who’s boss, haha!
Kisses,
Tabs
candace grubbs says
haha i did the same thing with our cat i put a red bow on her and had my husband take a photo of her and i in front of the tree!
Tabs says
Hi Candace,
I bet your cat worked that camera like nobody’s business!
Love ya,
Tabs
Dina J says
My cat Trinny wants you to give her your pawtograph. You look handsome and your assistant looks especially pretty in front of the Christmas tree! 🙂
P.S. Your assistant does not have flabby arms.
Heidi says
Awww…. Tabs. Glad you got some pleasure out of the holiday! Missy is reading this from my lap, and nodding in agreement over the “incompetent assistant” part. I have NO IDEA who she could be thinking of! ; )
Tabs says
Ah, Missy is a cat after my own heart.
Kisses,
Tabs
saku says
Aww Tabs, too cute picture.
Tabs says
Thanks, Saku. I think the trick is to smile with your eyes.
Peace,
Tabs
Myr says
Smize! 🙂
Soo says
I always wondered if you had some Filipino in you. the photos of Tabs with Fancy Feast are so cute =^.^=
Tabs says
I hope soon to secure a deal as the next face of Fancy Feast. Keep your paws crossed for me!
Heart ya,
Tabs
Savannah says
Oh Tabs, he’s a handsome beast! Tabs looks a lot like my cat only more black stripes and fluffier than my baby Java(:
Tabs says
Hot! You know tabbies rule, right?
Luv,
Tabs
AS says
Tabs knows he’s way above average in the looks department. I heard Peter Beard was touting Tabs’ 1/2 Philippine leopard cat ancestry.
Tabs says
Thanks, babe. I know genetics dealt me a good hand, but I still work hard to stay fit. I do laps around the living room every night around midnight and make sure to stretch first thing in the morning. Gotta keep this body tight!
Werk,
Tabs
HanaBerlin says
Tabs is so cute!
Tabs says
You know it, woman!
Kisses,

TABS & KAREN…. you rock yo!
Aracely says
Oh Tabs I wish my cats had the fashion sense to wear a red bow and rock it versus them looking like they are being tortured
Radhika says
Tabs…I Love youuuuuuuuuuuu….:) 🙂 🙂 🙂 OMG…You are replying!!!! 😀
Ithfifi says
Awh Tabs, you certainly are a stunning looking fella! Good to know you where spoilt rotten and had a rather nice Christmas!
You should tell your assistant she is ver nifty with the camera, lovely shots! 😛
Nina says
wow tabs — your present from your grandparents is just plain awesomesauce (or awesomegravy) … 🙂
great loot!
Jen Meade says
Tabs, you are a handsome devil. I’m glad you got suitable tributes for Christmas, even though that CLEARLY won’t make up for your assistant’s ineptitude. I think it’s clear that the first three letters in “assistant” are there for a reason.
Lucie says
Tabs is such a handsome cat! My tabby, Oscar, says hi.
Markina says
All I can say is Tabs is a hot mess.
Phyrra says
You two look so adorable! Happy Holidays 🙂
Isabel says
Tabs is the cutest! His pictures are absolutely adorable!

Wow, great picture. Could this be your card for next Christmas, Tabs?
jowina says
Tabs in Filipino slang is short for “taba” which is cute for chubby :. love your blog. I’ve been following your suggestions as we both have the same Filipina coloring :> Happy holidays !!
Michele DiCola says
Hello Tabs,
Merry Christmas; I know you have some Filipino in you: you speak Tagalog.
I loved your gifts. I am inspired to now gift Frankie my daughter’s Chow.
I am wishing you and your Mamma a Happy & a Healthy New Year!
I am looking forward to so many more blogs of make- up ideas in 2011!
Sounds so weird ; doesn’t it? 2011?

I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now and never even knew you were half-Filipino! Wow, my favorite beauty bloggers all have some Filipino blood in them. 🙂
