Is Miss Tina a Miss Take? Only if no one buys it.

Kelly Rowland and Tina Knowles must have put their heads together when Kelly was coming up with her album name and Tina was trying to figure out what to call her new clothing line. Kelly decided on Ms. Kelly, and Tina, thinking a bit more outside the box, went with Miss Tina by Tina Knowles. Who knows? Miss Kelly by Kelly Rowland might have sold a couple thousand more copies.

But I digress. Tina's new line, which features shoes, accessories, and pants, tops, dresses, and outerwear from sizes 2 to 24, shoes, debuted on HSN last night. It's supposedly figure flattering and creole-inspired, but military inspired capes and leopard print blouses don't really scream creole to me. I'm pretty sure the Knowles family just likes to drop that word whenever possible.

The clothes, are, uh, along the lines of what one might expect from Tina Knowles, but they are a bit more understated that House of Dereon duds considering the target audience. In other words, I didn't see anything that was bedazzled. Peruse some looks after the jump or on HSN later today at 4 or 11. You can also check out the Web site, but beware the creepy video of Miss Tina describing the collection and engaging in the liberal use of the word "daughter."

This woman can make staples look tacky. A mess.

Shopping is a form of exercise. It should not be done on your couch. It should be done on the streets of (Insert closest big city) with lots of walking around. If you're going to be broke, be broke and lean.

Nope. The best is when I come home from work at like 10 p.m. or 2 a.m. or whenever and I am still too hyped to sleep, I can shop for kitchen gadgets and jewelry and shit. Now I can buy some of Mama Tina's CREOLE creations…for my grandmother of course.
