New nickname: Lady Gaga.
But anyway, the real shocker is I keep thinking of this as a 4/4 for 5 mana, not a 3/3 for 4.
I think decreasing a creature's power and toughness does not necessarily justify decreasing it's mana cost- yes, Red Removal Effectiveness Rating or White Creature Token Fight Rating (how fast can you get what you need to kill this, using either one spell or a multiblock of creatures) are both stats that should care about Power/Toughness and have that influence mana costs....
But there are some times when a creature's non-Toughness qualities ought to justify increasing mana cost. Example- not so much 'what the ability does/how powerful it is', but 'what kind of deck does this'-
Olivia is a creature I want as my Champion to finish up a game I've established Control Over. Like Vengevine. I think both cards are fine ALREADY in slow decks. They each cost 4 mana. Which lets FAST decks have them too. Which I think is a no-no. The most extreme example of this is autoca... (see all)

What is her hand resting on if both her feet are sticking straight out the bottom of her dress? I mean, his dress...

With the ruling saying whatever you "bite" even if its lethal damage it becomes a vamp..... so for her second ability does that mean you can grab vamps from the graveyard?

My girl in the Prerelease, wiping out wolves left and right. Without her, I wouldn't have made it to Top 2.

Heh, "Femnarch." Funny stuff. Good creature to join the Red and Black halves of the Vampire pie in Innistrad. Even outside of that context, she's an excellent card.

It's like four cards into one. Pay 2: Put a +1/+1 counter on her, AND kill critter or prepare larger one for conversion. Pay 5: Steal your opponents beatstick. Singelhandedly capable of controlling almost whatever your opponent drops, assuming you have some untapped lands. As if all that wasnt enough, she is tribal. With CMC5 I would still vote her 5/5.
