The sun is setting here at Casa de MBB, and we’re tidying up and preparing for bedtime, yet I wanted to take a moment to wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day certainly brings forth a multitude of sentiments, doesn’t it? It’s a day that can stir emotions for various reasons, differing from person to person. Everyone’s connections with their parents, children, and beloved pets are unique, and as life passes by so quickly, we all eventually lose those we hold dear. Days like this resonate differently for each of us at various stages in our lives.
I genuinely hope your day treated you kindly.
Each Mother’s Day, much like any other day, I find myself thinking about Tabs.
Oh! — sometimes when I come across an old photo like the one below, I get emotional, especially on Mother’s Day.
I really miss my dear boy!
Rosie
As you might know, Rosie the Magnificent has her own special connection to Mother’s Day because she is…
A mother!
Happy Mother’s Day, Rosie.
This is one of her kittens. These were photos I captured when she was still with my friend, who fostered Rosie in 2019. It was several months after Tabs had crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and I was longing for feline companionship. Visiting Rosie allowed me to cope with my sorrow.
These pictures were taken shortly after Rosie gave birth to her kittens, and I truly witnessed her tender and caring nature.
Rosie excelled in her role and all her kittens found loving homes.
During those months in 2019, Rosie’s affectionate spirit encouraged me to open my heart to another furry friend, and now she’s part of our family.
Happy Mother’s Day, Rosie, and to you as well. ❤️
Your friendly neighborhood beauty enthusiast,
Karen
**Weekly Update: Tabs the Cat – Mascot of Makeup and Beauty Blog, Volume 860**
Welcome back to another edition of the *Weekly Update: Tabs the Cat – Mascot of Makeup and Beauty Blog*! Now in its 860th volume, this cherished series continues to honor the legacy of Tabs the Cat, the legendary feline who transformed what it means to be a beauty influencer with paws.
### A Legacy That Lives On
Although Tabs crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019, his memory and impact remain central to the Makeup and Beauty Blog. As the original feline figure in the beauty sphere, Tabs was more than just a pet—he was a muse, a model, and an icon. His weekly updates began as playful posts detailing his glamorous life, quickly turning into a beloved custom for readers worldwide.
Each Sunday, fans eagerly await a new edition that includes nostalgic photos, fictional accounts of Tabs’ escapades, and updates from his successor, Rosie the Cat. Volume 860 carries on this tradition with heartwarming tales, beauty inspiration, and a sprinkle of feline charm.
### Tabs’ Fashion Flashback
In this week’s update, we revisit one of Tabs’ most unforgettable photo shoots: the “Midnight Meow” campaign for a limited-edition eyeshadow palette. Adorned with a custom velvet collar encrusted with Swarovski crystals, Tabs posed before a backdrop of illuminated roses, embodying elegance and mystery. The palette, inspired by his emerald green eyes and plush tabby fur, quickly became a bestseller.
Tabs’ talent for conveying emotion and drama in a single look made him an effortless star in front of the camera. His modeling portfolio showcases partnerships with top beauty brands, seasonal lookbooks, and even a playful fragrance ad titled “Eau de Cat-titude.”
### Rosie Carries the Torch
Since Tabs’ passing, Rosie the Cat has stepped into the role of the blog’s resident feline correspondent. While her demeanor is more analytical and detail-oriented—she’s recognized for her appreciation of spreadsheets and skincare ingredient lists—Rosie adds her unique flair to the weekly updates.
This week, Rosie shares her thoughts on a new hydrating serum, providing an in-depth analysis of its hyaluronic acid content and absorption rate. She also offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her daily schedule, which consists of early sunbathing, thorough grooming sessions, and overseeing Karen (Tabs’ human and the blog’s founder) during her makeup tutorials.
### Fan Tributes and Community Love
Volume 860 features fan-submitted illustrations and anecdotes inspired by Tabs. From watercolor portraits to digital art, the community continues to celebrate Tabs’ legacy with creativity and love. One reader recounted a moving story about how Tabs’ updates supported her through challenging times, underscoring the joy and comfort that pets—be they real or fictional—can bring.
### Why Tabs Still Matters
Tabs was more than merely a cat donned in adorable outfits—he embodied the blend of beauty, humor, and affection. His updates provided a moment of joy and connection amidst a fast-paced digital landscape. For long-time readers, Tabs is a representation of consistency and warmth, a reminder that beauty transcends products—it encompasses personality, passion, and playfulness.
### Looking Ahead
As we commemorate Volume 860, the Makeup and Beauty Blog continues to progress, but Tabs’ spirit remains its foundation. Whether you’re a new reader or a devoted fan, the weekly updates present a delightful mixture of nostalgia, beauty tips, and feline amusement.
Stay tuned for next week’s edition, where Rosie explores the best paw-friendly nail polish hues for summer and reveals an exclusive outtake from Tabs’ “Glamour in the Garden” shoot.
Until then, may your eyeliner be precise and your catnaps be lengthy.
