...File it under "Tried, but Denied".
Tina Knowles, MISS TINA if you're nasty, took time from designing for Hut de Dereon™, to appear on the HSN network for its Spring Fashion Week presented by ELLE magazine during the 12am-2am shift.
The ludicrous memo announcing MISS TINA's appearance can be read at Stylerazzi.
Here's a bit of background information about MISS TINA from the HSN website (obviously written by a Knowles operative aka Solange):
About Miss Tina...
Teaching women how to stylishly dress no matter their size or age is the goal of Miss Tina, a new line of clothing, accessories and jewelry from Tina Knowles. Geared toward women who love a chic yet classic look, it gives any body type a fashionable clothing option with attention to detail and a couture fit.

Have you ever had a handbag and thought to yourself, "This bag doesn't have enough shit on it!"
MISS TINA has you covered!
Logo Lobotomy
The MISS TINA MT logo is plastered all over her goods.
In my case, the logo is a TM for "Take Me" (Higher Lord!)
A little cross-promotion sticking on those left over Dereon logos.
If the MISS TINA logo is not enough, the MISS TINA gold name plates remind you even more about the questionable purchase you've made.
"MMVII
MISS TINA
TASTE OF COUTURE"
MISS TINA forgot to also include the Pledge of Allegiance.
Snake earrings...too easy.
This gem that defines the hobo in hobo chic is retailing for a whopping $250.00!
Just in case you have to be reminded.
Shop MISS TINA at HSN...
I thought the TJ Maxx appeal of MISS TINA's first two lines would make her and her operation chill out on those caviar prices for fishstick products, but I see the Knowles Corp. hasn't gotten the memo.
I'll be looking forward to avoiding the MISS TINA line on the clearance table at the local Burlington Coat Factory.
