MadameNoire Featured Video

So if I hadn’t made it clear by now, Orange Is The New Black is my current television (aka, Netflix) obsession. I’ve finished the first season, so I’ve been reminiscing about the good times until someone tells me Season 2 is ready to go. And as the women have done promotional work, stepped out on red carpets and just shown their everyday lives through social media, I’ve come to realize something. They clean up nicely! Let’s keep it real, prison doesn’t look good on anybody (Sophia, the transsexual hairdresser, just might be the best looking person in that prison), and to drive the point home, the actresses on the show usually forgo makeup (and a comb) to really get into character mode. But when the camera is off, it’s a whole other story. Check out the cast when they’re not behind bars for the show. They look good!

Uzo Aduba/”Crazy Eyes”

My Igbo sista! Aduba plays the extremely crazy but misunderstood “Crazy Eyes,” and with her bantu knots and well…crazy eyes, there really isn’t a thing about her on the show that screams beauty queen. But outside of her character, with her gorgeous natural hair, spotless skin, and perky cheekbones, Aduba is a whole lot more beauty, and a lot less butch.
