My girl Buttercup is turning the big 4-0 today! Don’t let the demure pose fool you, though. This is one kick-butt writer we’re talking about. Given the personal storms she’s weathered the past couple of years, her forties ought to be smooth sailing–she has two great kids and a rockin’ guy, so hitting the decade when women can finally do what they want and not worry about what people are saying about them is going to be the bomb. Love ya!
