Legally Blonde fans, meet Elle Wood’s working class cousin, Bubbles Yablonski. She may seem dumb, but she’s got a great outlook on life, is always willing to share her recipe for a good facial, and she looks amazing in spandex! Plus she solves enough mysteries to make it obvious the “dumb blonde” title may not really apply.
Bubbles is a hairdresser who is trying to move up in life, and after working her way through every class at Two Guys Community College she finally found her niche – journalism. When the series starts in Bubbles Unbound, she’s just got her foot in the door at the local paper, the Lehi News-Times, and is still doing hair to make ends meet. And where better to find a juicy story but the local beauty parlor? Bubbles is always getting herself into trouble by following these stories into places she never should have ventured. Fortunately, she has a wonderful supporting cast of characters, including her mother Lulu, who is a lulu; her mother’s best friend, Genevieve, who is quick on the draw with a shotgun even if she rarely hits the target; her friend and boss at the salon, Sandy; and her very sensible daughter (even if her hair is colored with Kool Aid), Jane. And let’s not forget the leading man, whose name (naturally) is Stiletto – because you couldn’t just have a “Steve” for someone named Bubbles! Actually, his first name happens to be Steve, but try not to hold it against him. He is as cool (and as good looking) as his last name implies. He’s also a photographer who periodically takes pictures for the Lehi News-Times – and a man who appreciates Bubbles as much for her sparkly personality as for the way she looks in spandex.
