The character

Bubbles is a high-energy beautician / rookie reporter. The heroine is a divorced single mom, a tube top-wearing, Camaro-driving, self-described as a "Polish-Lithuanian Barbie doll in Lehigh, Pennsylvania" - based loosely on Bethlehem, PA. She appears as a kind of hybrid between Marilyn Monroe and Columbo.

She has an ex-husband, "Dan the Man", and a daughter, Jane, a rebellious teenager with her Kool-Aid colored hair and black lipstick. Bubbles has a degree in journalism and is a freelance reporter for the local newspaper.
