      Have to admit I've never seen this amazing show. But thanks for bringing back orange! Also, do these fabulous women wear SOLID orange or stripes, 'cause I can tell you from experinece there is NOTHING more unflattering than FUCKING ORANGE STRIPES.

      They wear a kind of tan/beige. The orange (it’s a solid orange) is just for newbies, before they get their real uniform issued and a dorm assignment.

    I don’t think Samira gets enough love (I don’t mean from you, I just mean in general). She is such a beautiful woman. Why aren’t fashion mags snapping her up for photospreads? Her lovely, almost regal, delicate beauty would translate so well.

      My love for Samira is, perhaps, too great. And tragically unrequited.

      And the darker ladies, and less conventionally attractive ladies. That was my first thought.

      And there’s the words:

      “WEIGHTY ISSUE: When pounds block your purpose.”

    Awesome cover. Absolutely gorgeous.

    But... “SEXY AT EVERY SIZE” and “WEIGHTY ISSUE: WHEN POUNDS BLOCK YOUR PURPOSE” on the same cover? Pick a side, ESSENCE.

    Hint: pick the sexy side. ;)

      The two aren’t mutually exclusive. If you feel sexy and healthy at a “plus” size, then more power to you. But for a lot of people, extra weight can cause health problems and keep them from being able to do certain activities.

      True. There’s a certain cognitive dissonance in the titles alone (and for that reason, the two together were not a great cover choice), but, not having seen the piece itself, I’m reserving judgment on that second one.

    I am sure everyone is better than me, but I watch the show and did not recognize the top center. It is Adrienne C. Moore and in character she is:

      THANK YOU!!!! I was like “who is she?” Lol. Just shows how much I associate her with the role and nothing else. She’s awesome.

    Life in my brain...

    Looks at picture. “That’s a really nice picture, how come everybody is wearing orange?”

    Why does the universe put up with me, I’ll never know.

        I need her and Retta cast as sisters in something — STAT!

        But, like, not to interfere with her OITNB gig.

      If this group were the main focus of the show, it would be better than it is now.

        Hot damn Adrienne Moore looks fantastic. I don't think I've ever seen her all dolled up like that before.
