How do you solve a problem like Yablonsky?

Bubbles has a chance for a real position on the News Times and if it means schlepping to every garden club meeting and octogenarian birthday in Lehigh, then so be it!

But when a hot story in the form of convicted murderess Carol Webster lands on her doorstep one dark and stormy night. Well. Our irrepressible heroine isn't one to ignore opportunity. Her "nose for news" has been honed by years of beautician gossip, and she is determined to find some answers. Now, what were the questions?

Never restrained, our gal perseveres, even with the handicaps that include her mother, a preppy ex-husband ("Call me Chip"), and a crazed photographer-wannabe. And Steve Stiletto, who confuses the dickens out of Bubbles, just by his very existence!

While reality might get stretched almost as much as one of her trademark spandex tops, Bubbles A Broad is an offbeat hoot of a story. Bubbles is free-spirited and a little campy, and she brings out my "inner chick." What will she get into next time?
