These ‘Flaritza’ Moments Prove Flaca & Maritza Deserve Their Own Show

By Claudya Martinez February 12, 2016 at 12:57 pm

Let’s dream. If “Orange is the New Black” were to have a spin-off, it would HAVE to be all about Flaritza because Flaca and Maritza are the BEST! Who wouldn’t want to binge-watch the eff out of a show that follows our favorite Litchfield Penitentiary BFFs?

It’s so cute when they want to do things together.

But let’s not forget that like all good friends, they fight, too.

Maria’s reaction = all of us when we saw this go down.

Like that time they ran against each other for office.

They both wanted to represent the Latinas in the WAC (Women’s Advisory Council). Maritza was all about gettin’ more pizza because it’s “American and shit.”

And things got ugly!

Flaca started name-calling.

Maritza may have been called an idiot, but payback is a BITCH!

OUCH! You gotta love Maritza’s mad rhyming skillz, though.

But they always seem to make up.

Sometimes they don’t even have to apologize in words.

And they are killer dance partners.

So what if they get cut from the prison’s Christmas pageant because of their fly moves?

When they didn’t get to perform in the Christmas pageant, we had more fun watching them throw shade at everyone else.

It’s not that they were sore losers about not being in the show, they just talked truth.

The best is when they have talks…

You know those deep kind of soul-baring talks?

That only BFFs can have.

Deep shit that only gets shared with your BFF.

You know, sharing truths that others would laugh at.

A real friend “gets” you, though.

And if you’re feeling down about wasting the best years of your life in prison..

A true friend will kiss you on “your dumb lips” and then you laugh about it because you really are JUST friends and that’s A LOT.

Men are the ones wearing los pantalones in Latino households, right? Not quite. As much as they love to think so, and even brag about it, there is plenty of proof las mujeres are running it.
