Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 122

January 16th, 2011 by Karen 46 Comments

Even Tabs has bad hair days

Poor Tabs had a pretty bootsy week. It rained a lot here, so he never got to go outside except to go to his Bikram yoga class. And now he’s moping around the house and tearin’ sh*t up.

This is sort of random, but did I ever tell you about the time he opened for Whitesnake? Yeah, Bieber canceled on them, which really put them in a bind, and since Tabs happened to be in town that weekend, he rushed down to the Filmore in San Francisco for the show. Yup, it was all very exciting and marked a major milestone in his entertainment career. 🙂

He even got to sing one of his favorite songs. Of course, he made some minor changes to the lyrics.

Musical notes “Here Tabs Goes Again”, The Whitesnake Remix

He’s just another cat in need of rescue,
Waitin’ on love’s sweet charity
An he’s gonna hold on
For the rest of his days,
‘Cos he knows what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An’ here Tabs goes again on his own
Goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known
Like a drifter Tabs was born to walk alone
An’ he’s made up his mind
He ain’t wasting no more time…

Who is Tabs the Cat? About three years ago I befriended a stray, flea-bitten tabby cat with a bad case of worms. I could see he’d fallen on hard times, but his profound knowledge of high fashion and department store cosmetics led me to believe that he was more than meets the eye. We became fast friends, and now he’s actually my boss (and a successful kitty model). 🙂

Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…

Started a stitch ‘n’ bitch group with the neighborhood cats

Made it to the final four in season 7 of Top Chef

Loves the look of a black liner along the waterline

Is currently obsessed with Kate Spade’s spring shoes

Has repeatedly denied any involvement in “The Christmas Tree Incident”


Is in the process of developing his own line of accessories

Teaches breakdancing to elementary school children on the weekends

Hates modeling with others

Has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist

Man, I just love that song… “An’ here Tabs goes again on his own, goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known!”

Have yourself a great night, young lady. See you soon. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Tabs’ eyeliner is PURRFECT. He needs to do a tutorial on how to perfectly define one’s waterline.

    Hahahaha I’m pretty sure ALL cats would be clinically diagnosed as narcissists… if they would ever bother to see a therapist in the first place, because really, they’re all just too damn hot for that kind of thing, don’tchaknow.

    Missy’s on my lap reading this, and when she gets to the part about the Christmas Tree Incident, she mutters something that sounds remarkably like “deny, deny, deny, my friend!”

    Yeah, they’re all towing that party line regarding Christmas tree incidents!

    Tabs is most definitely too cool for school.

    My cat looks a lot like him but even leaving apart their size (she is small, my dad calls her the pocket rocket), you can tell she is a girl and he is a boy. Or maybe I am just imagining that bit!

    LOLLLL the “has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist” is amazing. I think that’s true for just about any cat. In fact, just a couple hours ago, someone asked me what mental health issue Aisha is most likely to have, and my response was “narcissistic personality disorder.” 😀

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my two-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my cat (Tabs).
