Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 582

December 1st, 2019 by Karen 4 Comments

Have you ever been to a Duke’s before in Hawaii? Well, you may not know this, but that chain of restaurants started out as D & T’s, for Duke and Tabs, back when Tabs was doing a lot of kitty modeling work in the islands, and he partnered with a local surf guru/restauranteur.

Everyone in the islands knew Tabs primarily because of his surfing ability, but he also had a successful line of custom kitty surfboards. Basically, if you were a pro kitty surfer in Hawaii between 2007-2019, you rode a Big Kitty Kahuna surfboard by Tabs.

Tabs just loved going to Hawaii to unwind. He could really let his fur down there and recharge his batteries, so he always made a point of visiting the islands at least four times per year. (He only flew first class on Hawaiian, of course.)

Fun fact: There’s a Tabs statue in the works. It’s going to be placed right next to the famous Duke Kahanamoku statue on Waikiki Beach.

    I can imagine someone with a packed schedule like Tabs would need a place to unwind. Even if he started some side projects like designing surfboards there.

    I don’t know how I’d forgotten about Tabs’ surfing career. I’m going to blame it on not getting much surf news in these parts. 🙂 It’s so nice to see Tabs and Choupette enjoying some time together. We loved Duke’s in Waikiki so much that we ate there twice. I’d never had Opah before and thought it was fab. One of the boys had a hula pie that was bigger than his head. HAHA! I hope you enjoyed your trip and had a great Thanksgiving!!

    Always wonderful hearing of Tabs’ endeavors. He made the most of his life, for sure, and taught you well.

    Aloha and love,

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).
