PHOTOS: Media Figures React To Donna Summer's Passing
Donna Summer's Lung Cancer, Explained
As I type this, dear reader, I don't know whether to laugh, or cry or applaud. What's got me all emotional? The news that the Knowles clan is spitting out yet another collection. This time it's from Mama Knowles' line, Miss Tina. It features contemporary dresses, shoes and bags, which seem to be aimed at a more mature audience than say - the teens who adore House of Dereon. Her line -- available through HSN -- promises to offer "a taste of couture" and help you "transition perfectly from fall to holiday." So why am I not impressed?
You can see the line for yourself and read Mama Tina's fashion blog at hsn.com.

Mama Knowles wants to do this to take her mind off of her HUSBAND cheating on her and getting this other woman pregnant. I guess, whatever works for her?

We always putting each down instead lifting each other up. Thats whats wrong with African-Americans today. Her clothing line has nothing to do with what you are talking about. HATER!!! You go Mrs. TINA! work that clothing line. Shut them "HATERS" up.

I can MIX it in if I WANT TO! I can do that sweetheart! How about that! I wasn't hatin on the woman. If startin her own clothing line HELPS in what she is going through, than more power to her! I FEEL SORRY FOR HER! No woman should go through that. I didn't put Mama Knowles down. If you are going to make comment about somone on here (MWA), read the comment CAREFULLY before POSTING your HATE and turning it into something else? I'm sure this effects EVERYTHING SHE DOES! Now please, know the differnce from HATE and a OPINION when a person gives one, OK! How you do!

why is she doing this? The clothes that she makes for Beyonce are tacky.. And if you notice Solange doesn't wear to much of Tina Badazzled mess. Tina can sew but she doesn't have a taste level when it comes to how things look. Work on presenting quality

First of all, describe tacky. And anyway, she makes mostly costumes for Beyonce to ware ONSTAGE! Besides, House of Dereon is doing very well so the only one complaining bout her being tacky is you. Hell, U probably couldn't even afford what they put out!

(TO KESHA)I was stating my opinion. Whether you like it or NOT! Who cares, REAL TALK Dereon is NOT selling very well, do your research. No need to tell you what tacky means, because it's clear you enjoy the line. As far as afford, honey i make enough money a year to afford you! GTFOH! The sh** is sold in Thift stores and other chains. Along side FUBU! lol..My unborn child can afford Dereon.
Goes to show you don't know very much, because Tina designs more than B's Stage outfits.
Your comment was unnecessary,don't give an opinion on an opinion. TACKY!

Actually "Mama Knowles" has been with HSN for two years now!! So this is not a new "clothing line" but a new FALL COLLECTION to her clothing line Miss Tina. I have purchased several pieces from her collection and they are very nice. Have you seen/purchased any of her items. If not why are you making negative comments about it. I do not understand why people are so quick to judge and try to bring others down. She is doing her thang!!! She is making money and doing something positive what are you doing?
