Mychael Knight on "My Sweet Sixteen"

Ever wonder what Mychael Knight would charge for a custom-designed dress? Watch this clip from "My Sweet Sixteen" to learn the answer. You can actually watch the entire episode and see how the dress turned out. What do you think?

I think that Mychael knows exactly who he is, who his market is and what he is doing. Congratulations Mychael!

Mychael Knight's Starbucks T-shirts Reach Fans

Hi BPR!
Through very precise timing, I was lucky enough to snag a "My Starbucks" t-shirt designed by Mychael Knight! It came yesterday to my ecstatic joy, though unfortunately I accidently mixed up Frappuccino blended creme with frappuccino blended coffee in my initial rush. Anyways, if you'd like, here's a photo of my shirt, which by the way, came with a free drink! I absolutely love Mychael and I'm still a bit incredulous that I was able to get something he designed completely free of charge. You all at BPR are so fantastic, I really appreciate all that you do, I certainly would never have known about this without you!
Thanks!
Genny




Kiwi sent us a photo of her shirt too! Thanks girls! Anyone else?

Don't you just love Evelyn, Kathleen and Felonice in their Robert Best Barbie shirts? Adorable! Thanks for the photo, girls!

This link takes you to a video of Mychael Knight at a Starbucks in South Florida. He looks adorable and mentions hanging out with Uli!

Apparently those Starbucks shirts are a little too successful...

Michael Knight in Seattle

Julie L reports from Seattle. (I can't quite get accustomed to "Mychael" - I'll work on it!)

Mychael Knight was my choice for fan favorite of Season 3. So when the opportunity to meet him in person at my old job (Starbucks Headquarters) presented itself – I knew I’d be asking my new boss for a long lunch in order to “Make it Happen”!

A few hundred employees (ex-employees), friends and family members chatted and waited in the 9th floor commons until Mychael was introduced to the stage. Everyone was clapping and hollering for him as he shyly smiled that great brace-filled sweet smile I came to appreciate on Season 3. Wearing a baseball cap, Starbucks T-shirt, bright green sweater jacket and jeans, he described his new collaboration with Starbucks in custom designing T-shirts that customers can choose depending on their favorite drink. They showed a short video that explained the idea, showed footage of Mychael on PR and meeting with the creative team at Sbux. He said that his favorite drink is a Grande Caramel Macchiato. After the video he said that he also really likes the Tazo Passion tea: “So yummy” – again with a grin from ear to ear.
