So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. 1. What are the first few things you do when you get home after a long day? First, I say hi to Rosie, because she meets me at the door. Next, I take off what...

I worked out hard for an hour at the crack of dawn, then showered in water hot enough to melt bones, AND THEN I gallivanted for an entire day wearing black cat-colored PERVERSION Waterproof Fine-Point liquid liner Eye Pen by Urban Decay, and not once did I look in the mirror and think, “Ew, gross… I should probably take this off.” I’m now 100% convinced that I could enter my final resting pyramid (with all of my kitty companions, of course), explore the afterworld for 2,000 years, and then be discovered with my cat eye flicks shiny, glossy, pitch black...

Out of the blue the other night as I was getting Connor Claire ready for bed, she pointed at her fingers and said, “Mama, paint my hands. You paint my hands and my feet, mama, okay?” LOL!

She doesn’t ever see me actually doing the nail painting part. I guess she must’ve seen...

My stylist buddy Alis likes to joke that I have enough hair on my head for three people (although, for the #officialmakeuprecord, I don’t have as much hair as I did pre-baby), but it’s not all kittens and rainbows, because having a decent amount of hair comes with its own challenges, like destroying every single hair elastic within striking distance. When I’m putting my hair up in a ponytail, most elastics either break, or get stretched out so far that they look like the granny panties you should’ve thrown out THREE YEARS AGO (but still continue to wear when you’re...

Back in his DJ days, Tabs used to love raves, but the demands of his career as a world-class kitty supermodel kept him out of the club scene for years. Now that he’s semi-retired and can stay up late and sleep in again, he wants to get back into dance parties. Unfortunately, his pet assistant’s side hustle as the parent of a toddler interferes with her enthusiasm to start partying after 11. That didn’t stop Tabs from organizing his own rave this weekend — complete with glow paint. All of the cool cats in the neighborhood were invited, but it...
