Is Tina Knowles Serious With This?

Wigs made from the fringe of long-haired cows found in remote parts of the highlands of Scotland don't come cheap, so Beyonce's mother and the creative director of the House of Derriere has put out a line of clothes for Walmart. I'll let Tina Knowles take it from here:

“I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be trying to find clothes that fit comfortably and that are flattering on me. So, I wanted to design a line for women that is fashion forward but at the same time addresses the problem areas that so many women struggle with. I am so thrilled to partner with Walmart as it allows me to create the Miss Tina by Tina Knowles sportswear line for a very affordable price for all women of many shapes and sizes."

Fashion forward to whom, exactly?! Community theater ushers? Caterers circa 1999?

This mess is the perfect collection for those of you out there who love it when you're out shopping and someone asks you if "this is on sale." You get to turn around and respond with: "Oh, I don't work here." This shit is just for you!

LMAO! Indeed! It is the best comment!

Just who IS this trick Tina trying to fool?

Her shit should have been at Wal-Mart in the first place!

And look: Jenny McCarthy, Kim Kardassian, and Star Jones are now her models!

Nominate for Photoshop awards. Miss Tina looks tiny.

I'm also digging the "EXCLUSIVELY at Wal-Mart."

Exclusive! Wow, I'm off to shop at Wallys!

**************************************************

OMG That orange leopard/cheetah dress on her website! BARF! And the lovely plus sized gal all the way to right is, indeed, wearing a sewn together skirt/legging or skeggings. DOUBLE BARF!

Couldn't agree more with the "treating all human beings with respect" conversation. Those of us who had to work through college at thankless retail and restaurant jobs (and well, maybe continue to do so in this economy)know all too well how service industry folks are treated. Pretty damn shitty. I ALWAYS look my cashiers in the eye and ask how they are doing. I ALWAYS treat my waiters and waitresses well and tip at least 15%, 20 % or more if they are exceptional or just because. Random acts of kindness make you feel a hell of a lot better than ruining somone's day by being a horrible cunt.

Any my personal golden rule #1: Karma is a bitch!

Nothing is more important in this world than lookin' spiffy

Anyway, I'm looking to start a BA program in Equine Sciences next year, so soon I could be grooming the next Secretariat! (I'm too fat to ride him!)

I have alot of experience in that area, so I just decided to go for it.

I would love to be Dlisted sisters...sometimes I feel like I have no Dlisted friends, other times not.

It would be nice to be certain about at least ONE person! :)

I can't wait... we grew up at Santa Anita in L.A. and it was a great track to learn horse racing at. I have no luck gambling but the horses and their hearts bring tears to my eyes. I love horses too!!! LOve, loVE, lOvE...

Hey Miss Thang... I keep missing you on here, so I hopped on a little earlier tonight... MISS YOU TOO!!! How was the summer in your neck of the world? I missed being on here, but the work load was nuts and most nights were busy with more of the same. Glad it's done for now... lost my big dog, Thor in San Fran though... he got hit by a car! Major sadness...still losing it over that. Dogs are like children and I failed him for a brief moment. : ( Sorry...
Hey......................
I can be your Dlisted sister... how about that?

Summer was good, work was busy, went to Mexico, not sure about going back there again, though.

I have found Mexico to be not very welcoming to single female travelers, which is not totally surprising, different cultures, etc.

I an so sorry about your doggie. They really are like children, in a way. Don't blame yourself, accidents happen. That's cold comfort, I know. If you said it to me in your shoes, I'd feel that way, but I just wanted to say it, because it needed to be said.

To cater to their obese clientele Walmart will surely implement "vanity sizing", aka size "4" is really a 16, etc..

_______________________________________

This has already been done.

I lost 50 lbs last year, but since I never weigh myself and was living in a very small town at the time, the only clothes I had available were Walmart, so I didn't know I had gained so much weight.

I started out as a Walmart 2, then 4 and then went to a 6. In about a year I went back to Walmart to get more 6 clothes, but then I was pushing an 8 although I could still fit a tight 6.

I panicked, started a diet and drove into the city to the Gap.

I was a 12-14.

I am now a Gap 4 and cannot wear Walmort clothing unless they are small junior sizes, which is kinda scary for the juniors considering I am a healthy weight woman in my forties.

LMFAO @ this

in the united states alone, about 4 million cats and dogs are euthanized each year for the lack of homes to adopt them. YOU can help stop this.. spay or neuter your pet. please "don't breed or buy while homeless animals die" and support animal shelters!

All three of the blouses look exactly alike. This is the look I throw together for work when nothing with color is clean and I'm too tired/crabby/lazy to come up with something original.

I guess this is the answer to someone (maybe a hostess?) who needs to find cheap work apparel. She must be as delusional as Beyonce if she thinks this is "fashion foward".

FunLuvinCriminal's picture

Are you fucking serious? A white blouse and a black skirt? Really?

"...fashion forward but at the same time addresses the problem areas..."

I believe the "Problem Area" starts at her Texas-sized ass, continues through her empty head and doesn't stop till it hits the Rio Grande.

This stupid shit is like fun-times pretend dress up for entitled assholes that don't actually work a job.

It's not the blouse, or even the skirt. By themselves, there's nothing wrong w/them, they are fine basic pieces. That they thought to put them together....in those colors...that's the real issue. Why is the one on the far right, damnm, is that Tina herself?, wearing leggings? Everyone knows when you get to that size you're fat. No real need to lie about it w/ leggings.

P.T.Bull's picture

In menard's or home depot, its so hard to find an employee, I feel like asking anybody no matter whether they look like an employee or not. Its frustrating to spend a hour looking for 50 feet of rope or some such...

I once asked a used book store employee I recognized for help. Apparently he had quit the store and was just standing in the middle of the store talking to his former co-workers--and was so offended by my presumptuiousness that he loudly told his friends that he quite the job a year ago and how could I not know that. What an emo prick--like he expects customers to keep current on his minimum wage retail career.

AMEN. At my kids' school's open house, there was an older man walking down the hallway and I assumed he was a grandparent of one of the kids. My seven year old went out of his way to say hello and high five him and I asked who he was and he said the man that cleans the bathrooms. Not an elitist bone in that kid's body.

You know what would be an even more fun game? Actually burning down WalMart

I would be mortified if I had to work in that store. Funnily enough, the store does carry some super cute things.
