A TABBY IN SEPHORA

“Hello,” the sales associate said as Tabs entered the store. “Can I help you find something?”

“Meow…” Tabs replied, a little unsure. The sales associate smiled expectantly. Tabs knew that he wanted something to brighten his fur, but these stores were always so overwhelming to him. So many rows and rows and aisles and stacks of products taller than him. He didn’t know where to start.

The associate nodded. Tabs, as if on auto-pilot, moved deeper into the store, pulled by an unseen force. Fur brighteners, fur brighteners, fur brighteners, he reminded himself, trying to stay focussed.

Around him were dozens of displays with sparkling glass vials, vibrant posters and trays filled with pigmented products. A mix of perfumes filled the air.

Cats and cat ladies walked up and down the aisles, exploring the many treasures. Many chatted with sales associates. “This one is great for soft paws,” he overheard one of the associates say. She was standing beside a husky Russian Blue Tabs recognized from his neighborhood.

Tabs stopped in front of a display placed at cat eye level. New Urban Decay Fabulous Feline Fur Brightener! it read. “Meow,” he purr-chirped. Yes!

The display showed that it was available in eight colors. He saw Orange Tabby, Siamese, Tortie, and yes! Tabby too!

He pawed at the small boxes, looking for the shade, but there were none to be found. Shoot, he thought, I think they’re out.

“Meow?” he asked the nearest sales associate.

“Let me check,” she said, heading behind the counter. “Yeah, those have been really popular lately. It’s weird, a seal-point Ragdoll came in yesterday and purchased all of the ones in the Tabby shade we had in stock.”

Choupette! Tabs immediately thought. That cat was always trying to sabotage him.

“I’m sorry,” the sales associate said, “it looks like we’re completely out, but I can order one for you if you’d like.”

“Meow-rrow,” Tabs said. Yes, please. That would be great. There had to be a reason Choupette didn’t want Tabs to get his paws on that shade. A good reason, indeed.

–TO BE CONTINUED–

Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 Happy caturday!

Did you do anything fun last night? We pretty much took it easy out here, buuut I did see kittens.

Yup, after dinner we stopped by a local shopping center (I needed ice cream), and the pet food store there had three black and white kitten siblings up for adoption.

I seriously considered bringing all three of them home…

In other news, we watched a fantastic WWII miniseries this week on Netflix called Generation War. It’s from the German perspective (English subtitles), which we don’t see a lot out here, about a group of five young friends and what happens to them during the war. Highly recommended.

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it’s grand. I’ll talk to you soon.

  10. I’ve cut my hair 2 inches past my ear before — I loved it! But it was more work to take care of than I’d like (hair that short sticks out in funny ways when you sleep on it)

  15. hey karen! hope youre having a good weekend so far! i am a recovering shopping addict (i use the word “recovering” lightly) but i found this facebook game called mall world that i’ve been addicted to because it’s like shopping but not really because its virtual haha but the clothes are modeled after runway fashions in real life so thats pretty cool!

  42. The shortest I ever had my hair is neck length, which is what it is now. I though I’d love it but honestly.. it’s been 3 months and I still hate it. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t wish I hadn’t cut it, but my long hair was so damaged, it had to be done!

  48. I would have to say my favorite “store” is Amazon. They are open 24 hours a day and they have EVERYTHING!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

  50. In college my hair was so short it was practically razored.

    Been with my current company 13 years, wow!

    ALWAYS love going to Sephora! And oddly enough, I never mind browsing around Whole Foods, either.

  55. Shortest I’ve ever had my hair – Well about two months ago I got it cut from all the way down my back to up to my chin! Over a foot of hair they cut off lol. Now I’m growing it back out again.

  56. I placed an order online from Sephora this morning – can’t wait for new BeautyBlender! Happy Saturday!

  62. When i was in elementary my mom cut my hair short like a bob that was just above my shoulders. The problem was, i had thick, frizzy, puffy unmanageable hair, so it looked like an oompa loopa hair cut!
    I envy those with cute short hair cuts, but i cannot ever go that short again!

    Reply

  65. The shortest my hair has ever been cut was a chin length bob, I about freaked when the hairdresser brought out a pair of clippers to shave my neck! Never again.

  67. My hair was about an inch long the summer before my senior year, unfortunately that was when all the girls had long straight hair, so I really stood out in my yearbook! Not good!!

  70. I had my hair cut to about ear length once – then decided nope never again! Shoulder length or longer ever since haha

    A store I always enjoy visiting: probably Chapters… I love browsing around bookstores!

  73. I like to frequent Target! It’s cheap enough that I can buy more than 1 thing without feeling guilty, and nice products without being handled and smeared all over the place (looking at you Walmart). Their home decor and clothes can be quite cute too!

  75. The shortest I’ve ever worn my hair was a chin length bob about 10 years ago. Now I wear it long past my shoulder blades…

  76. Shortest I’ve ever had my hair is completely gone! I shaved totally bald my Junior year of high school. It was so freeing, fun, and one less thing to worry about during the stress of applying to college! =]

  78. Way back in the 1980’s I worked as a hairdresser. One very slow, rainy Tuesday my boos gave me a super short, super platinum spikey crew-cut…very Annie Lennox!!

  79. My favorite store?????? SEPHORA for sure! It is the highlight of my week when I drop in there. I LOVED the blog today about Tabs’ experience finding a fur brightener. It was great. That is exactly how I feel – I never know what to look at first and it’s hard to focus even with a list.

    When my son was born years ago, I went from hair halfway down my back to 1 and 1/2 inches long. It was easier to take care of, but it shocked my friends.

  80. I like to visit Sephora even though I don’t go often enough. I like the fact that you can experiment with different products without the salespeople think in you’re up to no good!

  104. The shortest I cut my hair is when I get a chin length bob. I love it! But I like my hair long too, so I go back and forth getting it cut short and then letting it grow for a few years before going really short again.

  106. Favorite stores are Sephora, Vera Bradley and Bath and Body Work. I’m going to these stores Monday with my mother (Yay for days off)

  125. Shortest haircut ? A My Little Pony 1/4 inch buzz-cut done just about all over my entire head, leaving only bangs, which were blue or purple, depending on the day, to hang over my eyes and past my chin. I LOVED it, then I got over it…
    I still think about doing it again just for kicks – who knows… ?

  126. Soo I was on vacation last week. I live In the N.E. And I have to tell you it rained for 3 days, was cloudy for 2 and I go back to work on Mon.and It’s suppose to be 81 and SUNNY!! I worked 49 hours each week for the last 3 weeks and it was beautiful out!! We had such a lousy winter that all I wanted was to sit on the beach on vacation! Trust me,I am grateful I have a job and even more grateful I am able to work, but really I couldn’t get 1 beach day??? A gift card to Sephora would most definitely make me feel as though I sat on the beach for the entire week!! Lol

  129. I’m one of those people who always preaches the fact that you don’t need to pay a lot to get a lot out of your makeup; that a $.99 wet ‘n’ wild lipstick can be just as good as a $14 one…but, goddamn, do those new Studded Kiss lipsticks look nice. :-S And they’re the exact sort of high(-ish) end item that I could defend buying: excellent pigmentation, very cool packaging, and extremely unique colors…many many extremely unique colors…more than I should buy…but probably will…ai, I may have a problem. 😛

  137. The shortest I’ve had my hair was a bob. I had a horrific one in elementary school (complete bowl haircut), so I’ve kept my hair long, but I just felt like a change and went for it earlier this year. I love it so much that I’m toying with the idea of going pixie.

  139. I love playing charades, even though I don’t play that often. It’s a great party game for about 6-8 people and a great way to relax and get to know everyone-especially after a drink or two!

  142. I was born and raised in my current home town of Sofia. Capital of the beautiful Bulgaria – miles and miles away from USA 😉
    Small (or at least it used to be small) European town with architecture influenced by Vienna and Moscow. Calm and quiet in the suburbs and alive and bursting in the center 🙂

  145. I love Sephora (and Nordstrom, I can’t choose, I just CANT!) with a passion that burns like the heat of a thousand suns 😀
    Too much? Mkay

    Oh and the shortest my hair has ever been was this bowl type bob when I was younger. It was ridiculously short (done by a barber mind you!!) and since adults were in charge of me and my haircuts at the time, they thought it’d be a good idea to have the barber completely remove my sideburns…so not only did I look like a boy wearing girl clothes for months but my hair looked like a wig I’d put on my head without any sideburns! Good times 😀

  152. The shortest I’ve ever had my hair was when I was a toddler. I had a pixie cut for a couple of years. Probably because my mom didn’t want to go through the hassle of having to comb long hair. Which I understand because when I was older and had longer hair, I’d always run away when she’d try to brush it.

  153. I’m growing out a pixie cut, which is the shortest it’s ever been. I liked it, but my hair grows too fast to stay committed to a really short cut.

Love that movie and I love Bradley Cooper. He is also from Pennsylvania. The longest I worked for a company is 8 years. I worked for a place that made audio and video systems. Finally, a store that I love visiting is Lord & Taylor. I believe they’re an East coast thing, so you probably have never heard of it. I like going in every now and then, and seeing what is new. It’s a little like Nordstrom, but not as high end. Thanks for having this giveaway!! Ciao Bella!!

  208. Until I was 11, I had long hair past my knees – I decided I wanted to cut it really short, like chin length. Turns out, my hair is super curly, but it wasn’t really noticeable because it was long and weighed down. It turned out really, really poorly. :/ I might have the confidence now to rock a huge curly short ‘do, but not in sixth grade! I haven’t cut my hair since, it was such a traumatic experience.

  217. I’m very happy. Today we adopted a beautiful 4 year old Burmese mix cat. He’s a gorgeous deep, dark brown with green eyes. He’s still a little shy but right now he’s up in the window getting some fresh air. The hubs and I have only had Siamese cats before – four of them. Our last one died several months ago and was my husband’s cat. I hope that this one will be MY cat.
    I was born in Middletown, NY. Our family moved frequently due to my father’s job and when I was 11 we ended up in Middletown, NJ.
    My longest job lasted 19 years and ended when they closed the office in NH and moved to CT. I was offered a transfer but said “No thanks”.

  247. I was born in Bergen, Norway, and we moved to Cali when I was four. My dad’s whole side of the family still lives in Norway (mom’s side is American), and we visit as often as we can. 🙂

  249. I was born in the city of Barra do Herons in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil. I lived there until I was ten years old and then moved to Goiânia in Goiás state to continue my studies. And the last three years I moved to another state, Tocantins, with my boyfriend because we spent together in a bid to teacher. 🙂

  251. I went on a first date this Friday, and then it turned into a second date the day after that, and then a third date the night after that! Now I’m going to take a break and reflect on things so I don’t become that girl who’s on him like glue. While I’ve dated/had relationships here and there, I’m a predominantly single woman, but this is the first time in my life I had a crush on someone/was admiring them from a distance, and then everything fell into place.

    Everything about this weekend screams “moving too fast”, but for once in my life, I’m riding the wave instead of letting it roll past me. And I have no regrets about that 🙂

  253. I had a pixie cut about two years ago. I really struggled with it since my hair is so thick. Now I’m trying to grow it super long, but I always have the urge to cut it when it hits my shoulders

  254. West Philadelphia, born and raised. Just kidding. The shortest I’ve had my hair is 2 or 3 inches above my shoulders. I had the Victoria Beckham bob for a while. My hair was right above my bumbum when I cut it. Now it’s waist length!

  265. I’ve probably played Charades or Twister once or twice as a child, but it’s been so long that I can’t remember.

  266. The shortest I ever had my hair was a pixie cut, and I loved it! I kind of miss it actually. But the hubby likes my long hair.

  268. In what way is Tabs like Sephora? Neither would likely give me the time of day when I enter the room. Honestly, the store staff here is awful.

    The shortest my hair ever was, was against my will. I came home from summer camp as a child with a knot in my hair my mother decided to cut out, along with the rest of my hair. I looked and felt like a boy. It was the shortest pixie cut. She thought it was “cute”. Short hair suits HER face, not my round one. I was made fun of and tortured over it at school. Teachers looked at me with pity when I came in after the summer. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it was traumatic. I’ve had few and very far between haircuts from other people since, and my hair currently reaches my waist. Cutting more than a few inches at a time sends me into a full blown panic attack >.<

  269. The shortest I’ve had my hair is a chin length bob. I went to get my hair trimmed (below the shoulders) at a Paul Mitchell school and had to go w/ a different student. He messed up on one side and cut it too short (“oops, I always do that! sorry!”) and it ended up being much shorter than I anticipated. He kept trying to even it out until I asked him to stop. My friend said I looked like Dora the Explorer =/ LOL

    Eventually I grew it out into an asymmetrical bob (after getting it fixed by an actual hair stylist).

  277. I was born and raised on the island of Barbados. People always tells me this is weird, but I just love spoilers for books and movies.

  278. The shortest (and worst) my hair ever was was a slightly above the chin bob. It was when I was younger and my thick hair all one length made me look like the fifth Beatle!

  284. I’m growing my hair out of a pixie right now–two years and it’s at mah boobs! I keep wanting to try shaving it, though. Must resist!

  287. When I was talking to my cousin about the fact I only have 3 pairs of shoes, she opened her trunk and had 4. I don’t wear heels after years of modeling because I need 2 new knees.

  290. I actually always enjoy visiting the grocery store – Kroger to be exact. Good produce, decent prices and if I go to the nice one I feel like I’m actually doing something relaxing. I almost never enjoy Walmart because things are always out of stock, the dairy and produce is questionable, and it just is gross. :X

  292. No surprise, I always enjoy shopping at Sephora! I love to see the latest greatest, and I love the ability to test and swatch all the glorious lipsticks!
