Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 111

October 31st, 2010 by Karen 50 Comments

Dear Diary,

I’m so furious right now — FURIOUS!

What’s that old saying? Something like, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself? Well, I told my good-for-nothing assistant WEEKS ago that for Halloween this year I wanted to dress up as Lady Gaga.

I was thinking either a bubble dress or big Coke can curls like in the Telephone video, and I told my assistant to “get on it” last month.

Per usual, she waited till the last minute, and now I’m stuck with this stupid yellow submarine.

She actually said, “I found the perfect costume for you!” Really?

I mean, how hard is it to find a Lady Gaga costume for a cat? It’s called the Internet, woman!

And you know I’m pretty sure this thing was made for a dog. Yup, just keeps gettin’ better.

Now I have to model with this ridiculous pumpkin next to me, which I can’t even eat.

I can’t work under these conditions…



Happy frickin’ Halloween.

–Tabs

P.S. Are you watching The Walking Dead tonight? I’m watching it now. Imagine waking up to find out that basically all of feline-kind has been wiped out. Yeah, no thanks!

I’ve been watching a lot of apocalyptic stuff lately, and I’m getting kinda freaked out.

Tabs for AMC's The Walking Dead

        I think Halloween would be more fun if it wasn’t that cold. LOL!
        My boyfriend & I went trick or treating with his little brother on Halloween night and oh gosh….it was like 37degrees! (From possibly 60 during the day). But, we still had some fun though. We pick out the bad candy from the good candy and whoever lost in game of Chinese poker has to eat a piece of the bad candy! HAHA! That was the best part of the night!

        How was your Halloween? 🙂

    That is so awesome! Of course, now I’ll have the song stuck in my head for days.

    I thought of you at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear yesterday — there were zombies holding Zombies for Education Reform signs. There was also a sign that said The only thing we have to fear is fear itself…and zombies.

      OH yeah. I want “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself… and zombies” on a bumper sticker.

      Do you have AMC? The new zombie show, The Walking Dead, is on tonight.

        They have become so quick to cancel shows and I watch a few, get invested, and am then pissed off when it is canceled with all sorts of loose ends. So now I record a few episodes and wait to see if it looks like the show has a chance before I watch.

          I see. We’ll, you’ll be happy to know this has already been renewed for a second season! And only one ep has aired. Apparently some higher ups thought it was good enough to keep going…

          I hope it doesn’t go the way of Heroes and self destruct!

    Even though he doesn’t looked thrilled, I’m impressed that you were able to get him to wear a costume. He looks adorable (if a bit peeved :)).

      How was your Halloween? Did you rock a special makeup look?

    Poor Tabs! I wouldn’t dare try to put a costume on Missy. She pitches a fit whenever I have to put a new collar on her.

    True story: the first year we had her, Missy came wandering into the house carrying something pink and fuzzy in her mouth. Upon closer inspection it turns out it was some sort of dog outfit, about the size that would fit a chihuahua! I have no idea where or how she obtained this, but ever since she will move it around at various locations in the house during the middle of the night: in front of my bed, in the hallway, etc. I have no idea what she’s trying to communicate when she does this. Cats are cray cray!

      I totally hear you on this. My cat was never very loud until we got her this one ball that she feels compelled to yowl at all night. If you run downstairs to try to catch her in the act (of hunting it? humping it? we can’t be sure) she’s sitting there demurely, totally still next to the ball not even looking at it. Pretending as if nothing has been going on.

        We have a secret language. If I decrypted this behavior then I’d be putting the kitty code at risk.

      Yo Amee,

      I’ll have you know that is not a dress!

      It is a “costume.”

      My cherished drag outfits only come out every third Friday when I hit up the clubs in SF!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
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, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
