Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 163

October 30th, 2011 by Karen 21 Comments

Tabs for MAC Paint Pot in Ice Cream Sandwich

What a close call! Tabs almost didn’t make it home in time for Halloween because of an unscheduled business trip. He flew down to San Diego early Sunday morning to help out a photographer friend of his who was in a bind after the Siamese he’d hired to model for a Laura Mercier campaign totally flaked on the job.

The shoot had a Gulliver’s Travels theme, but the Siamese never showed up for work, so Jean, Tabs’ photographer friend, needed a substitute model. He called Tabs early this morning before dawn in a panic.

Right after hanging up the phone, Tabs called a cab to the airport, caught a flight on standby down to San Diego, met the crew at the beach, modeled for the campaign, and then caught the next available flight back home. Total trip time: less than 12 hours.

Jean was so happy with the way things turned out that he booked Tabs for two more jobs next month!

Now that’s the way to get ahead as a top kitty supermodel in this business. 🙂

If you’re interested, here’s a shot from that campaign and the other modeling jobs Tabs had this week.

Tabs for Laura Mercier Gulliver's Traveling Lip Glace

Tabs for Tom Ford Beauty Savanna Mau

Tabs for NARS Ponderosa Cream Eyeshadow

Tabs for the Becca Lost Weekend Collection Coat Tint in Sabre-Tooth Cat

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). 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Have you been watching the new season of the Walking Dead? Pretty cool, right? It’s one of my favorite shows, but that one episode a couple of weeks ago with the walkers on the highway had a few plot holes (I mean, other than the whole zombie thing). How do 100 moaning, hobbling undead just suddenly appear? Wouldn’t you think you’d see ’em coming from, literally, a mile away?

P.P.S. Tabs has been a busy boy this year. His portfolio of kitty modeling pics is, like his robust tum, bursting at the seams! Here are some (just some) of the latest pics. For even MORE, you can skim through the archives here.

      Sounds good, Michelle. I just might take you up on that offer. You may need to help me with the chopsticks, though.

    Oooh! I love the Zamboni! 🙂 I’ve only watched a bit of one Walking Dead and it was the highway one. I thought the same thing. Well, that and “they move faster than most zombies… but luckily don’t look under cars”. I need to check out the show in earnest. 🙂

    Haha, the Gulliver one made me laugh. Aww…poor Tabs. He’ll get out of that bind, I’m sure. He’s far too intelligent! 😉

      Thank you! You know, my assistant has so rudely referred to me as having a little kitty brain. She will suffer my wrath, believe me.

      Mwah,

    Did you catch last night’s episode of The Walking Dead? It was so heartbreaking. 🙁

    Tabs, is the Tom Ford Beauty eyeshadow quad one of the ones in the original launch or will it be coming out sometime in the future? Thanks, Tabs, you are always ahead of the trends.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

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).
