...arched eyebrows or open, camera-ready smile, to make up the physical differences between them. It's a generous act - the more skilled actress reaching out to the younger for the sake of the character. Wright Penn has been in the public consciousness for more than 20 years (Buttercup!), but she herself has been something of an enigma. She seemed, at times, hardly to want to be an actress, letting her private life lead the way while she clutched her potential close to her chest. Pippa should be a career changer. Wright Penn's cards are finally on the table...
...would transform this into a tasting tour of the petite cupcakes of Magnolia Bakery at Columbus and 69th, the overpowering cupcakes of Crumbs at Amsterdam and 75th, the cream-filled cupcakes of Alice’s Tea Cup at Columbus and 73rd, and the pastel-colored cupcakes of Buttercup Bake Shop at Columbus and 72nd (the tour could have continued, but our stomachs always seemed to be full and wallets empty after these almost-$4-each extravagances).

She's lonely on top, flirting with potential mates but searching for a mother. In this sense she is a big sullen sister to Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the Powerpuff Girls. They too are the spawn of a biological experiment. (They also levitate, like the Tiger women.) And though the show is perky, and its pace frenetic, the Girls carry the burden of others' expectation.
