Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 119

December 26th, 2010 by Karen 37 Comments

Dear Diary,

Before I get into the drama-dy that was Christmas 2010, can I just take a moment to bask in the glory of my modeling skills? Observe the evidence: the centerfold pic from my last photo shoot, which I took for the cover of People magazine when they named me “World’s Sexiest Tabby of 2010.”

See how I skillfully raise my paws? The nonchalant look of disinterest and the artful placement of my whiskers? It takes a lot of work to look this hot.

People just don’t seem to get that my life isn’t all jet setting and cat walking; I have to make critical decisions EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Take, for instance, my holiday plans (or lack thereof).

JF (that’s James Franco to you) asked me to hang with him and his buddies in Aspen this Christmas. I really wanted to break in my new snowboard and those Louis Vuitton boots (ya know, the ones with the fur?) I picked up in Paris a few months ago, but due to my assistant’s usual incompetence, I was stuck here in the Bay Area. She couldn’t find a first class flight out of SFO in time, and, you know, I soooo don’t do coach.

It was royally annoying, but one thing that perked me up was this awesome present from my grandparents:

I call them Lolo and Lola, which means “grandfather” and “grandmother” in Tagalog, their native tongue (for the record, I’m half Filipino).



Despite being stuck in the ‘burbs yesterday, all in all, this was a pretty good Christmas. As a matter of fact, I’ve been in such a great mood that I let my assistant hug me for a full two minutes…

…before scratching the crap out of her flabby arm, you know, to show her who’s boss, haha!

Kisses,

Tabs

    My cat Trinny wants you to give her your pawtograph. You look handsome and your assistant looks especially pretty in front of the Christmas tree! 🙂

    P.S. Your assistant does not have flabby arms.

    Awww…. Tabs. Glad you got some pleasure out of the holiday! Missy is reading this from my lap, and nodding in agreement over the “incompetent assistant” part. I have NO IDEA who she could be thinking of! ; )

    Tabs knows he’s way above average in the looks department. I heard Peter Beard was touting Tabs’ 1/2 Philippine leopard cat ancestry.

      Thanks, babe. I know genetics dealt me a good hand, but I still work hard to stay fit. I do laps around the living room every night around midnight and make sure to stretch first thing in the morning. Gotta keep this body tight!

    Tabs, you are a handsome devil. I’m glad you got suitable tributes for Christmas, even though that CLEARLY won’t make up for your assistant’s ineptitude. I think it’s clear that the first three letters in “assistant” are there for a reason.

    Tabs in Filipino slang is short for “taba” which is cute for chubby :. love your blog. I’ve been following your suggestions as we both have the same Filipina coloring :> Happy holidays !!

    Hello Tabs,
    Merry Christmas; I know you have some Filipino in you: you speak Tagalog.
    I loved your gifts. I am inspired to now gift Frankie my daughter’s Chow.
    I am wishing you and your Mamma a Happy & a Healthy New Year!
    I am looking forward to so many more blogs of make- up ideas in 2011!
