"Tina Knowles" (born "Célestine Ann Beyoncé" on January 4, 1954) is an American fashion designer for her House of Deréon brand. She is of Louisiana Creole Ethnicity)
Tina Knowles should be a role model for all American women because women in the U.S. have become increasingly trifling, lazy and gutter. I don't how else to say, what I see when I look around, at whats walking on the streets of this country. Woman have just gotten brainwashed, into thinking that everything they do and everything they wear is o.k. and has no room for improvement. You can' tell American women about their 300 lbs weight gain because Oprah said that you can be "Big and Beautiful" but no one is saying that your "big and Beautiful" but will die at the age of 50 due to your weight!
That's the scary thing about America, and how we raise our kids into thinking that you don't always have to keep working on being a better you but should just be accepted the way you are; in all of your trifling glory.
Paying kids to get good grades and saying it is o.k. to be clinically obese is insane. Beyonce was dropped from a label as a child and she wasn't babied. She had to work harder, learn her craft, walk better, be stronger and be the best. That's how people in America should be but unfortunately they are not. Parents have to identify their kid's talents and set them on a career path-at a young age and Tina Knowles invested in being a real strong woman in America and not just on Oprah or the Gale King show complaining.
I have never spoken to Tina Knowles and have only met Beyonce once in L.A. but I know how a good Creole mother is and understand Tina Knowles, on an instinctual level and how she has managed such a successful life and clothing line. Creoles never raise their children to be mediocre or become a stereotype because some U.S. Government survey says this is how you group of people are supposed to act. That's what blacks and hispanics do and it is very sad. If your going to let a country's government raise your kids, it dam sure shouldn't be the U.S. government!
I am not a fashion connoisseur but I know what is great fashion and what is just the bullshit of some eccentric designer, making clothes that no one can wear. I mean, who wants to walk around in a garbage bag, tied with a silk belt and pay $7,000.00? That's what female actors wear when they want to get some publicity, on the Hollywood worse dress list, at Oscar time. I guess their careers aren't going that great, they haven't been nominated for anything and need to make a splash.
I prefer women, that dress classy but reasonable. They wear elegant outfits but don't look like they have been the victim of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" host.
Fashion doesn't have to look like a Picasso painting and have five different colors going on in one single outfit and many women confuse being sexy with dressing like a Bourbon Street "Big Daddy" dancer!
The fashion shows that I have seen in NY, L.A. and what Tyra Banks, has on "America's Next Top Model" just looks like over-the-top clown outfits that NO WOMAN should seriously consider walking around wearing to NO event.
Tyra Banks has that Black woman jealously thing, where the first thing she does with another black girl, that has naturally long hair (no weave) is make her a bald headed alien, in her so called "make overs" but Tyra has weave and durasoft color contacts for days. Tyra Banks takes a pretty black girl, and make her into a bald headed mess and then she takes some ugly bald headed ghetto bird-and adds a 7 ft weave, thinking she did something! An ugly woman is an ugly woman, and no amount of shoes and hair styles, is making a dam bit of difference.
(Creole History)!!
Tyra had a Creole girl on her show after Hurricane Katrina, who was prettier, lighter, slimmer and more fabulous than herself and Tyra sent her home, using Hurricane Katrina, in New Orleans as an excuse. The aspiring Creole model, didn't take bad photos and Tyra Banks really had no rhyme or reason except pull this colonial America stunt against a Creole.
If one looks throughout Louisiana and French Caribbean history, all one reads about is how can the beauty of Creole women be controlled, so that the aristocratic French noblemen, could stop marrying them and giving them all of their land and wealth.
First, the French wanted all Creole women to stay inside their homes and not walk out into the New Orleans French Market, French Quarter or Marginy using their beauty as their point of sin and when that didn't work--they just said that all Creole women could open businesses and little shops (which they did) and they ended up owning most of the commerce and real estate in New Orleans and their is evidence of plantation ownership by Creole women, throughout the French Colonial Americas.
(Creole History End)!!
House of Dereon, is like the only fashion that looks good on demand and you don't have to be brain washed by a fashion show, into tricking you, into thinking, that wearing an imported paper-bag from Italy with D&G stamped all over it, is hot and all the rage!
Tina Knowles does all of the outfits for Beyonce, and Beyonce always has on the best fashions. It is always something elegant, simple, dynamic and sane. I was doing research on Tina Knowles and when I stumbled across her clothing line-I thought it was da bomb!
Creole women know how to dress and have a history of fashion and being fashionable in a classy manner. Which is why Miss.Tina has great outfits. 
If I see a woman dressed in House of Dereon, I think she is sexy, smart and classy. Now if I see a woman dressed by Kimora Lee Simmons, I think she is just a gullible ghetto bird, who got ripped off.
