Basically, you have no excuse not to know that Orange is the New Black Season 3 is available on Netflix right this very second. But if you didn't know, WHY THE HELL NOT? At least you do now. We might forgive you later (might not).
From Piper and Alex's ongoing love saga to Daya and Bennett's baby dramz, there's all sorts of reasons to be obsessing over the ladies (and gents) of Litchfield. So in honour of us being exceedingly nosy and wanting to find out all the goss from Season 3, we headed out to NYC and sprinted straight to OrangeCon, the official superfan par-tay. Whilst we accidentally left our orange boiler suits at home, some megafans remembered theirs all too well. We wonder if they had to smuggle some contraband cigs in past the security guards for authenticity?
We massively LOL'ed when Yael Stone, aka the totally glam Lorna Morello, revealed the item she'd most like to smuggle into prison would be vitamins. But we also caught up with Laverne Cox, who plays Sophia: "The most wonderful thing about Orange is the New Black is that diverse audiences feel their stories are being told. The more stories of us that can get out there in the media, the more the public can get an idea of the rich tapestry of who we are. The multiplying of our stories in the media is deeply exciting to me."
We asked Big Boo, played by Lea DeLaria, about fan reactions and the first time she encountered a Big Boo related one: "The show had just started airing. I walked by Ace Hardware and the woman who worked there came running out, screaming 'Big Boo! Sign my screwdriver!' She brought me an orange screwdriver and I signed it for her."
Laura Prepon, aka Alex Vause, doesn't usually take many fash risks, which is why we were massively championing her suede n' snakeskin combo. But when we asked her how she handles those sex scenes and if she finds them totally awk, she told us: "Taylor and I's chemistry is so amazing and we feel comfortable with each other. In the beginning I'd be like 'we're gonna put our hands here and here' but now I'm like 'whatever.' It's comfortable."
And one more thing. Uzo Aduba, who plays Crazy Eyes, looked all kinds of crazy amazing in colour-clashing Dee Hutton. We also didn't realise she was the proud owner of such wondrous hair. We sure do now, though. When we chatted to Uzo, she said: "This is why we do what we do." N'awwwh!
