South Bay Ken

It seems many girlfriends who intentionally move out of the South Bay for "bigger and better things" (i.e. to live in the fabulous City or even with the intention of living happily single) meet a nice, SJ guy and find themselves back in the South Bay. What is this phenomenon? In addition to a few friends *Ahem, Saba* just last week I met two more ladies - one at my gym and one on Caltrain - who live in SF but have an SJ beau. We obviously have some quality males down here! I feel the South Bay has been overlooked and underrepresented!

Moreover, a friend of mine recently alerted me to the East Bay Barbie.














"Danville Barbie"

This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card, and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.

It seems we need to represent the South Bay here! Come on guys and gals, take your best shot a creating a South Bay Ken or South Bay Barbie.

For example -

"Silicon Valley Ken"

A little socially awkward, but the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. Slightly overweight but has a high-end gym membership, usually hyped up on Coca Cola, wears polo shirts with a high-tech logo. Comes equipped with state-of-the-art Blackberry, a bunch of miscellaneous computer parts and a Porche Carrera, although he lives with his mother.

Please feel free to edit. Any other ideas?
