What Do the Orange is the New Black Characters Actually Look Like?
Netflix

In a show that is based in a prison, it is obvious that these women are not going to be looking glamorous to say the least. However, some of these characters are so grunged-down that they are basically unrecognizable from what they look like in real life.You spend hours on Netflix binge-watching every season starting the day it gets released, but would you actually recognize these characters if you saw them on the red carpet?

Taylor Schilling - Piper Chapman:

As the 'pretty girl' of the show, Piper Chapman doesn't look too far off from herself in real life. Obviously, in prison she won't have her makeup down and be wearing a gown on the red carpet - but hey, she doesn't look half bad as an inmate!

Alex Vause - Laura Prepon:

Well, as the pretty girl, Piper wouldn't be caught with someone who wasn't equally as attractive. That, and the fact that her and Alex Vause share an intense history makes for some serious drama on the show. History aside, Alex can hold her own in Litchfield for not looking far off from Laura Prepon on the red carpet.

Suzanne Warren - Uzo Aduba:


Suzanne - better known as 'Crazy Eyes' - might be one of the most unrecognizable characters from the show in real life. This is one character that you might have to take a double, or even a triple take if you saw her on television out of character.

Tiffany Doggett - Taryn Manning:


Aside from her different hair color (and Pennsatucky's teeth), Tiffany looks absolutely nothing like Taryn. In real life, Taryn looks elegant and classy - which is a bit of a far cry from the character she plays on OITNB.

Nicky Nichols - Natasha Lyone:

This is one makeover that seems minimal, but has a huge effect. After taming Nicky's hair and putting on some fresh-faced makeup, she looks like a completely new woman!

Daya Diaz - Dascha Polanco:

Despite having good hair and a fresh face on screen, Daya still cannot compare to Dascha all glammed up. Let's just say that in real life, she definitely has more than two prison guards fighting for her love!


Needless to say, these OITNB characters definitely spend a bit of time in the makeup chair in order to make them look less than fabulous. But now at least you'll be able to recognize them the next time that they make a red carpet appearance!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
