tabs

Hi, ladies. 🙂 Been keeping busy today? I was just getting ready to make dinner (El Hub and I had our Valentine’s Day dinner last night in Yountville) when a text came through from Tabs.

While the whole damn continent’s freezing its collective a** off, that lucky cat has been shooting ad layouts and commercials in the South of France! I swear, if I get one more fracking text from him about how “dreadfully” hot it is in Saint Tropez…

If you’re interested, he attached pictures of some of his recent jobs, and for what it’s worth, he asked me to tell you “Meow.”

The big game’s getting ready to start, which means football fanatics nationwide are sporting their team colors with shirts, hats and even makeup.

I’m not really rooting for one team over the other this year, but Tabs made his choice clear. He’s all about team spirit. 🙂

P.S. Tabs actually won the MVF (Most Valuable Feline) award in last year’s Kitty Bowl for his stunning fourth quarter touchdown catch that put the Mill Valley Wildcats over the top.

Yes, I know I sound crazy, LOL! 🙂

GO SAINTS!

Greetings, humans. My assistant Karen hasn’t returned from the mall yet, so I’ve commandeered “the blog” this afternoon. I don’t know if I’m doing this correctly because she usually handles the tech, but here are some of the sites I’ve been visiting lately.

Blythe Blythe Blythe! — Flickr Group Pool

If you can get past the initial shock of eye contact with the Blythe dolls in this Flickr pool, you might find them quite pretty. 🙂 Some look straight-up FIERCE in their ’60s clothes and bright makeup!

Aerial Virtual Tour of New York City

WHEE! It’s like I’m flying. Wait — I think I see a squirrel in the park. Up here, little guy! Yeah, above you, the cat in the sky, LOL!

Do you use dry shampoos?

Tabs does (what’s a dry shampoo?). Really, they’re all he ever uses. Matter of fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw him take a *real* shower, LOL! That cat is filthy. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

As you know, Makeup and Beauty Blog mascot Tabs travels the world as a model and spokescat for some pretty big beauty and fashion brands, and when he’s away on business, I often wonder if he thinks of me…

Yes, I am in full-on crazy cat lady mode right now, LOL! 🙂

P.S. Click here to see Tabs’ past modeling jobs and collaborations dating all the way back to his *big break* on Aug. 31, 2008.

Side note, but have you ever tried walking a cat on a leash? Scratch that. I mean, have you ever tried to put a leash on a cat? Today, feeling guilty about taking away his freedom by making him an indoor cat, I tried to put a kitty harness on Tabs to get him some sun out on the deck. Yeah… he wasn’t into it.

What are you doing tonight? Anything good on TV?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I sure miss my tabby Tabs, ladies… I wonder what he’s up to right now. I haven’t Skyped him yet today, but I bet he’s doing calculus in the living room, probably wearing some professor glasses and drinking tea with milk.

Or maybe he’s just sleeping in the sink. 🙂

Sometimes at home Tabs likes to do crossword puzzles and word jumbles. Can you figure out these four jumbled beauty words? First one to leave the right answers in the comments wins!

Tonight I took a look back at some of my favorite tabby’s modeling work… No matter how busy he’s been, no matter where his work schedule has taken him, he’s always reported for duty here at Makeup and Beauty Blog headquarters.

Good kitty. 🙂

The Apple of My Eye

When Fortune Magazine named Steve Jobs CEO of the Decade, a lot of people behind the scenes were wondering, “What about Tabs?”

Tabs for Coach

Tabs worked with Coach on one of their bag campaigns last year, but they said he was hard to work with. Now he’s trying to land a job promoting their new men’s fragrance, Leatherware. I hope they let him down easy if he doesn’t get the job…
