What kind of name is Dick for a lingerie line….cute though

concreteloop is the shiznit!!!!!!

i like what they r wearing

HES MY FAV DESIGNER

I love Mychael Knight!!!!

SUM THESE GIRLS LOOKIN KINDA RUFF
IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN

What a name kitty litter? Wow! I have no comment on the name of his brand- I just wish he would have named it something more sophisticated than a woman’s diaper.

Kitty Litter? I don’t know about that name!! Dick & Kitty!? Mike?! WTF?! Who pumped your head up for that one?!

I don’t remember this style from project Runway…

I loved him on Project Runway I’m glad he is still on his grind. Where can I see the lingerie?

I’ve been following this since he decided on the name…Great Job!!! They are talented too!

Wow those colors are bright. Kitty litter hate that name. They couldn’t think of nothing better?

They’re like the Pussycat dolls? Really?

These girls are ghetto and not hot.

kitty and dick, clever. RIP Pimp C

@ BRWNCRAYOLA

The name got me too, it dosn’t look like the style he did on Project Runway the pictures are really small, but this seems alot more urban

This is ridiculous…Kitty and Dick though? Mike…no other ideas for naming lingerie huh? Do the obvioius?….I guess :-/ I dont know about these clothes. Looked like Jimi Hendrix designed them. I have a headache….

no no no no no no no just no

I think they all look cute, I like the outfits as well, can we hear some music from them.lol

I’m LOVING it!!!

hey yall its fashion and its only lingerie that mean as for what all the models have on u dont look at the whole outfit and judge u have to look at it piece by piece cause what their wearing does not represent the whole collection for that look u know what im sayin…its kinda hard to explain…i like it really cute!

He should have thought of a better name than this the first thing I think of is shit and piss when I hear kitty litter!!

Cute idea. Very creative. I hope he does well.

Huh, I’m confused…

Are they Musicians or Models or Both ???

Kitty Litter ???
Kitty & Dick ???

okay…..That’s nice…

Kitty Litter??!!! Kitty & Dick???!!!!!!!! What in the world! He couldn’t think of another name for his clothing line. I bet this will be in one of those trashy stores.

And we wonder why white folks talk about us!!?? SMH

Kitty Litter - the name sounds a bit tasteless and lacks class.

But then you have the name Kitty & Dick, which seems a lil neat when you look at what its for. But what star/model with anything going for themselves, would say “Oh I have on Kitty & Dick underwear.”

As opposed to saying

“I have on the Victoria’s Secret Angel Collection.”

Duh

Although I respect Mychael Knights talent and craft, but this shit right here, this shit right here is ummmm well let’s just say……….

We got to do better.

pussycat dolls my ass….

not feelin the name of his brand…the outfits are not classy and the girls dont look like top models. Everything is just all wrong. I thought Michael had more talent than this.

Ole girl with her legs sticking straight up in the air is striking a FREAKY pose!

I’m so sick of this cookie-cutter look. Lace-front wig or weave and tons of make-up and suddenly someone is “hot”? It would be interesting to see what these girls look like sans make-up and with their real hair.

This is a H.A.M. WTF is Mychael thinking? Kitty & Dick? Kitty Litter? Who wants to wear “Kitty Litter?” He’s basically calling his lingerie line shitty, and from the looks of it he might not be that far off, IMO.

I like Mychael and everything, but his names are just trashy.

lol #17. Exactly what i thought when I heard the term of reference used to describe the lingerie brand title. WOW. People will stop at anything to try and be imaginative/different these days. In my opinion and ONLY mine, he failed on all accounts on that name. What about ‘Leave it to the imagination’? now that would be a dope name…4 1nce lol

Mychael is right back where he started from with his designs, I see. That looks like the stuff he brought in during auditions for the show. That’s sad. And, don’t get me wrong…the dude IS talented, but his problem is that he’s well…like someone said of him after his show at Bryant Park: “he designs for Beyonce videos” I’m sorry, but it’s true. (And, nobody challenge that…this is NOT about Beyonce…it’s just what they said).
I think Mychael’s best work was the stuff he made from trash…the stuff he showed at fashion week…:-(

From what I can see, only 2 of the 6 of them look below average. The other 4 are cute IMO.

BUT there’s no denying my boy M.K. Every single one of those outfits is HOT. I’ll be able to purchase this line when????

But don’t kitty’s use litter to shit (pardon my french) on?! I don’t like that name.

La Perla! Now thats classy. “Kitty and Dick” now thats trashy, ashy etc…….. Where is he selling this shit? The damn dollar store????

Since when did leggings and lame’ become lingerie?!

THEY ALL LOOK LIKE HOES!! BUT MORE POWER TO U!! MAKE THE MONEY!

“Kitty and DICK”…. thats sounds LAME AS HELL, he couldn’t be a lil ORIGINAL??…wow…smh…but the cloths look cute though…its all colorful…and i luv luv color

the name sounds stupid. Kitty and Dick?? its TRASHY, and why does all the females look low class…hmmmm

LMAO @ #13!

Hey Melisus! Girl where you been? Haven’t seen you on here in a while.

Okay. Kitty’s Litter is a hell of a name for a group. And Kitty and Dick for a lingerie line? How clever. GTFOH!

Hooch couture. How refreshing

AWE SHIT

DONT TELL ME MELLISUS IS BACK UP IN THIS BITCH

LMBAO

“GET EM GIRL!”

WTF these hoes aint cute

This is what happens when you spen too much time at the strip club when you should be brainstorming ideas for a collection. I won’t support a waste of this brother’s talent. Michael, try again. THESE are not the people who supported your vision on Runway. THESE are not the people who you should be sewing for……

I’m not exactly sure who THESE people are at all. Maybe cousins or something.

MELISUS SAID:

the first thing I think of is shit and piss when I hear kitty litter!!

WELCOME BACK

uhmm no

rae&&sonnie look like the break out stars ta me the rest of the faces are soooo forgettable!

LUV MYCHAEL!!!!

KITTY & DICK??? WHAT R U SERIOUS? THAT IS DIGUSTING LINGERIE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY, AND THAT NAME MAKES YOU NOT EVEN WANT TO WEAR IT, AND IT DOESN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE LINGERIE, IT LOOKS MORE LIKE SOMETHING YOU WEAR TO GO EXERCISE. PEOPLE PLEASE LETS GROW UP OUR MINDS

this is exciting!!
yay! i’m glad to see mychael doing his thing:D

I sure as hell won’t be caught dead in clothes called “Kitty & Dick”…. WTF

@17…I mad at you…you stole my line. what I wanted to say was NO,NO, AND HELL NO!!!!!
i AM WAY DISAPPOINTED..NOT CLASSY AT ALL

WTF?????

I like the name of the line. Victoria’s Secret meets Pussy Cat Dolls, X the Victoria’s Secret cuz this line looks like something from K-MART and the only girls that are fly in this group is Sonni and Marcia.

Deja Vu

oooooooooookay

Um this line is WACK!!!!!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love his work and rooted for him on project runway, which I feel he should have won. This line right here is a mess in my opinion. First off, homeboy needs to change that TACKY old name. It’s not professional at all! Your making business connections and you have to keep it classy and business like, you feel me MYKE?

Those girls look pretty and crazy at the same time. Those colors are too bright and I wouldn’t wear that mess. His stuff on project runway and rip the runway way fly as all heck. Bring that creativity back Mychael.

Haha.

Kitty Litter? He might as well called them Scat.

The name kinda scares me.

As an aside…I LOVES Mychael and think he is a wonderfully amazing designer. I agree with #57 on that he should have won.

As for Kitty’s Litter I think the pics are cute. I love the colors and what appears to be, the first items from the line. I have yet to really see Kitty’s Litter purpose in form so I’ll give them a chance before I pass judgment. When I saw the title of this post in my RSS feed, my initial reaction was “wtf kinda nasty ish is that.” (the name ‘Kitty’s Litter’ immediately reminded me of some Fresh N’ Step cat litter or something…)

..Then I saw the pics and read the post and understood. However, I do have to agree at the brand name being a bit crass as I have some reservations about it… Kitty & Dick….ok…not exactly professional–even for a lingerie line. But thats not my name on that label so whatever.

WOW! LOL! These comments are hilarious..anywho I used to dance with one of these chicks in high school and she was most def. and inspiration in dance. However, I don’t understand the concept of dancers w/ lingerie and I’m a little nervous that someone would wear these pieces to bed…not a good luck. I love some MK but I am going to ride it out and see how this goes…..SHOUT OUT TO CANDIS…DO YOUR THANG MA!!!!!!!!

HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE NAMED THE LINE DICK AND PUSSY……(smh) DICK AND KITTY, NIGGA WE KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY SAYING….

I don’t get it …

Kitty Litter.??? How about Cat Sh!t………..that has a nice ring to it.
Half naked ass women ain’t the same as musical talent…..is it.??

# 62 I was think the same exact thing!!! I did luv him on project runway he shoulda won! I loved his work on the show! And that shit up there don’t look like no lingerie more like workout clothes from the 80’s! I dunno Myke

Im bored with this whole generation….

I loved Mychael on Project Runway. Loved him like crazy! Disappointed to see this is what he’s come up with. This is some hot mess! The models look rough (especially that first one in the blue and orange) and the clothes look tacky to the tenth power.

I want to see him do well, but as Nina from the show would say, “the taste level is just not there.” LOL.

I really loved Mychael and I’m trying to find the silver lining…does he mean litter as in a litter of kittens? (SMH and hoping for the best) More thought should have gone into this…

Well…I’m not sure exactly what to say…I’m trying to look at the clothes as pieces instead of outfits and I just don’t see lingerie…but I was behind Mychael all the way through Project Runway…so maybe he’ll come better after he’s he has more time in the industry.

Huh!?

kitty & dick? negro, please. you’re out, you may leave the runway.

Um…no. This ish is not the business.

Kitty litter is just a disgusting thought. Cat pee is the only thing that comes to mind.
Dick and kitty is no damn better. Tacky as hell.

personally i didn’t think he was that great of a designer…i mean really!!… he had a few good onces and that was it, most of his designs were BLAH!!!…but i was rooting for him though..lol..maybe because he was BLACK…smh

LOL @74 CHARLEE…..

I AGREE…LOL…I WAS JUST ROOTING FOR HIM CAUSE HE WAS BLACK TOO. ….YOUR HONESTY IS TOO CUTE.

The girls look nice just because there not all high yellow and wearing a lace front like you know who? It’s about time we see really black women not mix. That’s why black men minds are messed up now. Good job Micheal , something diff.

Kitty Litter / Kitty&Dick!!!!!!!!!! The names just turn me off. His designs were just OK IMO. The dress he made the girl on SUPER SWEET 16 was ugly and looked really cheap.

#76 WHATEVER!!! WHY does skin color (dark vs. light) have to be a topic that black people bring up? That’s why we (black people) all will be divided and what is divided will fall.

I like Mike

Well… I have had some of the ladies from Kitty’s Litter preform at my “BROKE $ BOUJEE” parties here in ATLANTA. and all I have to say is .. HOT DAMN….
Those girls dont stop.. wont stop.. and wont break a sweat in the process.

Instead of bringing this man down, applaud him for trying to think of different ways to market himself and engage the consumer. I have known Mychael for years, he is always cutting edge, Im proud of him.

Kudos to the Kid….

btw: check out COMEUPKIDS.COM

So, does this mean The PussyCat Dolls shits all over them? Real pussycats use the bathroom in kitty litter boxes…. I’m just sayin’!

The concept is cool. Love to see Black people doing the damn thing.

OMG! This has got to be some sick joke! KITTY LITTER! None of that ish looks like lingerie who wears a jacket to bed

prolly some of dumbest shit i’ve ever seen

He needs to change it to Kitty’s Secret…lol

#26 What celeb is going to mention what underwear they have on? Or wear? I never heard of a celeb just busting out with “oh yes I am rockin the new victoria secret thongs”

No problems with the name he can just call it K & D lol the overall outfits are a mess but when you look at the actual bras and stuff it kinda looks cute i cant really tell

Why is this shit SO ghetto?

Riddle me that…

i hate to be debbie downer but it just looks like he went into the nearest hood and found just any old chick. these girls do not look like models in the least bit. and the name….it’s just…too out there. i don’t think the public would respond well to that.

“girllll this is kitty and dick i got on, fly ain’t it.”

yeah I like Micheal but the name “dick and pussy” is very raw..lol..he coul just named it Kitty Kat..lol..that’s cute..lol..but umm I love Micheal’s designs and this is very cute..more urban chic..the cross colors and bright colors are the style that’s in so..do what it do Micheal!

Is Candis serious about those Grandma orthopaedic shoes?

LOL the comments ar mad funny im just rollin on every ones comment
well everyone im starting my own lingerie line cuz of MK can come out sh!t like that so can I and the clothing name is going to be…Hoochie Coochie comin out real soon.
*smh*

This kitty litter collection smells just like the stuff in a real kitty litter box - stinky. The name stinks and so do some of the outfits. I’m not impressed to want to wear stuff like that. I like some of those shoes though- the red pumps- me like.

Uhhhhh………is this line going to be sold exclusively at Walmart or what???? The pieces look like cheap swap meet crap. The whole concept is just OFF….. the name, the girls, the pieces.

And is he really comparing these girls to Victoria Secret Angels!

Back to the drawing board please.

I don’t care what it is, it is always good to see a black, young and educated brotha doing his thang. Go head MK. I hope he plans on coming out with a plus size line, we like to feel sexy to. I might just have to send him an email to see whats up.

wtf i thought his name was spelled with an i, not a a y

So, When I hear Kitty’s Litter (judging from the use of the comma in “Kitty’s” and knowing that a litter is a group of babies born all at once) I gather that his meaning is that these ladies–who are all quite HOTT and posing their asses off– are the fruit of Kitty. Now the real question is…Who the hell is Kitty?????

Additionally, I think the name of the line is quite clever. It must be for men and women ie. Kitty&Dick (oh yeah…for us old school cats who have some culture and our minds not constantly on sex…”Dick” is the proper nickname for Richard–look it up people!!)

Kudos to you MK… way to keep it classy and old school. The ladies look like an updated flashdance…that WAS a GREAT movie!!!

i really LOVED mychal on project runway. i thought his clothes were well made, and very stylish.

KITTY’S LITTER OR DICK AND KITTY, WHATEVER THE HELL IT’S CALLED, is not CUTE.

just because it’s MAD COLORFUL doesn’t make it nice or creative or avant garde.

it’s just wack.

That’s funny, I was just perusing Myspace yesterday and came across a few of these girls’ websites. They all seem to be hard-working college students who love to dance and sing. They look great. However, I do agree Kitty Litter is a strange name for a lingerie line…but I understand where he’s tryin to go.

@30) You can see these girls without their lacefronts and heavy makeup on their Myspace pages and they look alot different but still cute.

There are looking great!

wow theres alot of haters in here.
The girls are pretty, I don’t know what you all are complaining about.
Stop tryna tear people down he just launched, lets see how it does before y’all start bashing on him. Damnn

You peope are something else! You hate the name, you hate the look, you hate this you hate that.
Im happy for him. He’s trying to find his own style. Just wait and see what he comes up with and stop being so quick to judge.

wuteva that doeznt float my boat

LMAO @ 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M.K. needs to mature like the judges said on “Project Runway”. Who ever is influencing him on these distastefull ideas is ruining M.K’s talent and will eventually ruin his possible career as a designer. Grow up you are not in high school anymore.

MYCHAEL, GO SIT YOUR POLL JUMPING CLAIMING YOU’RE NOT GAY ASS DOWN… WE KNOW THE TEA BOO!

oh wow I felt a lil slow cause I thought what those girls were wearing werd their dancing outfits….I don’t comfortable see myself wearing things like spandex to be bed or as a sexy thing for my man….and the name…I don’t like it, but it is an attention grabber so he’s successful with that.

Well its Kitty’s Litter (as in a litter of kittens), so I guess he was trying to go for maybe a sexy kitten type thing, I dunno, but it really doesn’t go over very well. Also, Whoever told him that Kitty and Dick would be a good name for a lingerie line should be slapped!

The clothes look awful…and don’t get me started on the name!

kitty & dick???

buahhahahahahahahahahaa

“Kitty & Dick”?? Whoever came up with this idea is a jerk. This sounds disgusting.

“Kitty Litter”? Are they serious? How can broads accept this kind of image and this group name? Women fought for over 40 years to stop society from objectifying us, look at this. We’re being bombarded with bimbos with mics. I understand our elders’ frustration.

Is that Genuine’s wife in the purple tights? Sole,,,Sure looks like her!

I think the concept is cute and different. The pieces that are shown in these photos,are not the pieces he will be selling imo. You know how in some fashion ads and runways shows the clothes that are shown are outrageous and look unwearable,i think that’s what he’s doing. The lame and mixing matching prints are just heightned for fashion puposes,that’s what i think anyway.

This looks whack.

Why are there so many diss comments towards the models?! DAMN! Self hate is sad.

And remember they’re dancers as well. When did a “Fly Girl” ever look like a model? These women are attractive. They look a hellava lot betta than most women that are posting comments here. SMDH

These women aren’t fat you guys are still hatin’. SIGH I expect these types of comments when a celebrity is looking fat but damn these women are skinny and you still hate.

Kitty litter???? Kitty&dick?????? what the hell?, that name is not appealing.

So these women have named themselves after the substance that cats take dumps and pee in? Why black women?

EXCELLENT! Ive always LOVED and wanted to be a PCD (secretly…shhhh!). Please keep us posted on the location of the location of the Kuchie & Dick suite! :o)

Ciao Chico!
Yaya

Love the pictures… Dont know who the girl on top of the T’s are but she has a fly ass pose. Looking forward to seeing what they are about!

For the people who support this foolishness, quit trying to make up excuses/explanations to why he decided to go with Kitty’s Litter/Kitty & Dick. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS! NONE!

Litter makes it sound dirty but Kitty and Dick intrigues me

I really think it does not look bad at all, need to see more. And i love high color lingerie, I know black is a classic but that put some peper in a relationship when you bring some colorful panties+sexy !! My man lovessssssssss!

You’re so right… Please say it again.
People respect yourself.

Foxy loving the new avatar - much respect.

But i agree, the name is kind of risky and not respectful for a decent project, but hey don’t you think that PUSSY CAT DOLLS IS REALLY SEXUAL !!! So he should have found something more subtile but controversal!!

SERIOUSLY? I am not hating, I kinda like the colors and stuff but honestly? These designs were already done in 2005 for the David Banner video. What is so innovative about this? I mean I would wear a few pieces but that’s ONLY for wild summer parties.

Mychael did NOT deserve to win project runway…#74 is right…with the exception of the outfit he made from trash, all his other work was underwhelming. I do, however, think he’s talented but more in a helping-to-realize-another’s-idea than a design-my-own-collection kinda way. He’s just lacking in taste, I guess…he doesn’t really haven an aesthetic, really…his work is ALWAYS without artistic design. But, when he worked with Laura, he did well…he, basically, knows how to imbue another’s sophisticated design with an element of youth…but that’s not the same as creating a youthful, sophisticated design from jump.

Jeffrey deserved to win, his stuff was leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. Laura’s stuff always looks the richest, though…it looks timeless…I would love to get my Mom a few of her things.

The clothes would be cute on MyScene dolls….

I see too much weave and spandex, wats going on?

Thanks ThinkAboutIt!
You know I looooooooove Pac so much but thought I needed to pay homage to Pimp C. I plan on putting my baby Pac back up. LOL Not right now though.

ooohhhh check out that girl kendre sportin that extra sexy pose up top!!! pink jacket!! lol. Ken ken youre looking so EXXXXTRA great. extra in a good way! (yes!!) kitty litter definitely on the comeup. i mean the world knows im gona have those backstage passes. and even the rehearsals are fierce. but ofcourse kendre nichole is the fiercest on them all. (ask the mirror on the wall)

I am a big fan of Project Runway. I am not surprised that Mycheal came up with this tacky name and over done marketing concept. I like the guy but he doesn’t have an original thought in his head.

I knew when they had that challenge on Project Runway where each designer had to come up with a 3-word slogan to describe their design and his was “Sexy-Sensual-Seductive” that he must read on a 6th grade level. He should get some help with that.

Who ever said that stripping wont get u into mdeling lied cuz some of them be at Magic City.

LOL KANYE SHOUTED YA NAME OUT iiN DA SONG ON VIC’Z PAGE!! BLOGGERSPHERE iiZ GETTiiN BiiGGER THAN BET, MTV, AND VH1 ALL 2GETHA. ii LOVE THEiiR iiMAGE. ViiCTOR iiZ REALLY TALENTED

Why can’t we ever support each other? Seriously?

Yes, the names of the line and the group is risque and need revisions. However, *no* designer or their ideas automatically starts out on top. All of you haters keep referencing Victoria’s Secret, but how many of you would really wear their designs from the 70′, 80’s, and 90’s? Well? You hater’s need to stop counting Mychael out the second he leaves the gate. Instead, lend *constructive* criticism and support him so that he stays in the game long enough to improve on his designs and become a hit like Victoria’s Secret.

As for the models, these girls are very beautiful. Just because they aren’t tall, stick thin, and white/light-skinned doesn’t mean they don’t look like or can’t be models. It’s good to see something different, especially dark skinned sisters. And just because a Black person’s skin color shouldn’t be an issue doesn’t mean it isn’t. Yall know whether or not a light skinned sistah has less talent or looks she will be favored over a dark skinned sistah; e.g. Beyonce v. Kelly R. This is true in the Black community as well as American society.

I Guess???????

typical ghetto booty line…will be found in your local rainbow or ez pickins….walmart and kmart is too upscale for that

GET ‘EM Ms. Raevonne! Proud of you…..

But some of these clothes look more like dance wear than lingerie.

#136
“out the gate”?? This isn’t this man’s first venture since the show…he’s completed a line…didn’t you see it displayed on the BET runway special thing last year?

Before anyone makes comments you need to take some advanced english classes. Everybody got something to say but you write like third graders.

For those talking about the name, yes it’s saucy but 145 comments later it made you talk! Exactly what he wanted.

It’s funny how people say negative things about this project but will watch and support all the ghetto mess on BET. What else are black people good at besides judging and hating. I Bet when Victoria Secret came out with their line, all the white people supported them helping it be successful.

None of the girls are strippers, they are all professional dancers riding out with MK and his quest to succeed. Don’t hate, participate.

Finally some one with some common sense!! SPEAK ON IT!!!!!!!!

Wow, why not add a few wild animals, but keep them as the main act??? Anybody wanna buy tickets for ‘circus freaks r us’?? What the heck are they wearing?? I would never buy anything like that to wear, whether lingerie or not… it’s horrible!! Mike, I’ve seen so much better from you!! I’m extremely disappointed… You ‘were’ my fave….

I’m sorry but from what I’ve seen Mr. Knight’s enterouge at a few of their gatherings and they don’t appear to be the maturest group to help him succeed in this industry. They act like a bunch of college kids on spring break.

I like what I see and I think that the name Kitty and Dick is very creative! I’m not just saying that because he is my brother. Micheal is very talented in what he does. None of his styles are tacky and they sure dont look like that damn cheap Baby Phat some of you all claim. Just check out the web site. http://www.mychaelknight.com. I’m not mad at all the other opinion thats why its your opinion but damn he’s doing big things…give my boy some credit!

I really like Mychael Knight, I liked his designs on project runway and I think that this line is going to be really nice too. I also like the idea of the line being modeled by dancers, especially since the choreographer is Victor Jackson (I went to high school with him and he is a GREAT choreographer!). So the whole idea is great, but he messed up when it came to the name. The name alone would make people not want to wear it even though it looks great.

I love the name Kitty & Dick.. If you visit his website you’ll see it’s a line of Womens and MEN’S undies.. Boy short and Boxers… Hince.. Kitty&Dick.. Some people just have to complain about something.. ALWAYS LOVE…

doooooood, u can do better.

this looks like doo doo.
