Kris Allen -- Name That Thong

What a difference a few months makes -- now Kris Allen is your "American Idol," but last year he was just a guy from Arkansas asking for a pink thong.

TMZ dug up Kris and his wife Katy's online Target wedding registry, and hidden among the saucepans and the cutlery sets is a request for one pink thong -- an "angel pink mesh" thong to be exact.

Looks like the plan paid off -- they only requested one, but were given two.

Allen got hitched to his long-time girlfriend in September 2008. Evidence suggests they are happily married.
