Single and Loving It...With an Attitude
Oh good. Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And if the thought of next Thursday's approaching fillet mignon-for-two-free evening doesn't make you want to slice open an artery followed by nap-time in the bathtub, then how about not making Nob Hill Gazette's annual Lucky 13th Annual Eligible's List? (Yes, yes, you and your hipster S.O. are too cool to celebrate a Hallmark holiday, clearly, but what a privileged thing to decide not to do. Wow, that was bitter. Anyway.)
Actually, the list is an amusing read. (As is the Gazette itself ever since Catherine Bigelow came on board.) Although we lack the character and savings account numbers for multiple commas to follow our name, unlike the lucky souls on the list, here are a few noteworthy lonely hearts:
XX chromosome carriers:
Beth Spotswood; Chron blogger; nonprofit development director; recovering from Mayor Gavin's engagement; on 142 Throckmorton Theatre boardNyla Anne Patzner; warm & witty, plays polo, champagne blonde, long, long legs; on Wender Weis Foundation board
Janelle Wang; sweet & intelligent co-host of ABC7's The View from the Bay; dedicated to family, friends, career & committed to cancer awareness [We hear she's actually "very funny" and "totally smart," at least according to a homosexual acquaintance who appeared on her the show.]
Helen Jackson Spiegel; chanteuse extraordinaire; passion for beautiful music, elegant chapeaux & tropical fish
Kamala Harris; glamorous D.A. with a passion for compassion [Is she a confirmed bachelorette? Curious.]
XY chromosome carriers:
John Traina; ardent Fabergé collector & popular man-about-townWalter Saphir; M.D; cosmopolitan, charming, European manners [i.e., he holds his fork the other way], great accent
Seth Matarasso; dermatologist to the stars; workout fanatic, great host
Dr. Robert Nathanson; laid-back M.D.; loves live music, sports (playing & watching) & movies
So far, we're into Traina, but only because of his bedazzled Russian eggs and his possible link to Danielle Steele. (We can't keep the incestuousness of the social registry straight.) Failing that, the "laid-back M.D," which is so code for "he'll give you all the blank prescription pads you need." But he probably won't be single by the end of the hour.
Anyone else we're forgetting?

A lot more girls than boys. There's the old SF sex ratio again!
That article is useless without pics. How am I supposed to pick between Vaughn de Guigné ("pretty, vivacious") and Elizabeth Marston ("attractive & outgoing") without pics?
Big congrats to Beth S. for making the cut, though!
I'll second that comment: great to see Spots on the list.
Shucks.
I just wish I had some hippie cause they could have thrown in, like "cradles crack babies on Sunday mornings" or "passes out cheese sandwiches to hobos in her spare time."
