Since we introduced readers to the South Valley’s most eligible
bachelors two weeks ago, nominations for the most eligible
bachelorettes have been flooding in. The bachelorettes proved to be
a shy bunch, as we had more than a few politely decline inclusion.
But here are the lovely ladies who were brave enough to talk with
us. Gentlemen, have we got a treat (or five) for you.
