Who you vibin'? Time to pick RedEye's bachelorette
Rhea Ybarra, 24, Bucktown/Wicker Park
I'm originally from: Grand Haven, Michigan
Seeking? a well kept, employed, healthy, personable, kind and adventurous male. I keep my self busy with work and city life, when i go out i need someone that i can bring in public and is comfortable meeting people, on the flip side, someone awesome that likes to watch the news and eat ice cream!
What do you do? hairstylist, Mens grooming, makeup artist (men and women)
The most embarrassing thing I'm willing to admit here: Last year at lolla I went to get another drink and some crackers from the dressing room, walked in not paying attention to the signs (the artist switched trailers)... and HELLO GNARLS BARKLEY! to make it worse they were warming up, i felt like such a jerk, and when his manager asked what we were doing there or needed i stood there shocked with big eyes, the only thing i could manage to say was "backpack!". my friend and i ran out of there backwards.
You know you want me bacause: Im a small town girl at heart! Traditions, friends and family are very important to me... along with keeping pretty and waking up beautiful!
On a crazy Saturday night, you'd find me: On my bike, Nightswimming, climbing tree...
My celebrity alter ego is: a Kardashian, or Nichole Richie pre-baby/post rehab. But Im Definatley my own person, ive never meet anyone like me.
Kimmerly Ann Bennett, 28, Bucktown
What do you do? Clerk at the Chicago Board of Trade
The first thing I do in the morning: Take my Dogs for a walk
TV show I never miss: Always Sunny in Philidelphia
I am passionate about: Art and History
Chicago's best neighborhood is... because...: Wicker Park! There is always something new i find; either it be shops, food or a new bar
The best date I've ever been on: HAHA.....over-night flight to Vegas to see Peter Cetera play a private show
The worst date I've ever been on: no bad dates EVER! I always find the humor in Bad Dates!
On a crazy Saturday night, you'd find me:Out with my friends or bartending in Greektown
My celebrity alter ego is: Cameron Diaz
Lexi Fiedler, 23, Bucktown
What do you do? I am an Outreach Coordinator for one of the Ward Democratic Parties. I am also completing my Masters in Public Administration at DePaul.
Seeking? Someone who also has the elaborate goal of visiting every country in the world. Someone who is down for adventures, but also knows when to get serious and is determined to follow their interests and passions. Someone who is enthusiastic about music is also a must.
The best under-the-radar Chicago spot: Now if I told you - it would no longer be under-the-radar, now would it? On a beautiful day there is a spot by the Chicago Yacht Club where I love to sit and read and look at the sailboats. As far as bars go, I frequent Floyd's - a bar in my neighborhood that has good music, great bartenders, and pretty fantastic food; and on the plus side, it is never over-crowded. Food wise I'm going to have to say Barberry Thai on Southport and Diversey - great Crispy Pad See Ew and cozy atmosphere.
You know you want me because: Though I am often busy with work and school - I also find the time to go out and have a good time. I am definitely a beer drinker - Amber Ales and Guiness are my beers of choice - none of this wimpy Bud Light Lime crap. I've also been told more than once that I have very beautiful eyes.
This celebrity would make my list: Mr. Schuester from 'Glee' - the sexy teacher persona is a big turn on.

Lexi! she is a great person! Not only is she intelligent but she is talented, pretty, and has great taste in music! who doesn't want a music soul mate? : )
Jessica R. said:
Lexi! She is an upbeat, cultured and fun type of girl. She has great music, food and political likes!
lexi, for the beer comment and music.
though i'd love to play magnets and night crawlers with kimmerly sometime.
pt said:
Well hello there ladies! How can someone pick a favorite, they're all great! Rhea likes ice cream, Ms. Bennett has dogs and loves Always Sunny and Lexi is a music junkie! Argh
Kimberly Bennett said:
Well since i am serious about winning and AWESOME!!; vote for me! Kim! (smiles)
Mary Jane said:
Is your name Kimberly or Kimmerly?
pt said:
Ok, but don't let my vote go to your head :)
+1 Vote for Kim
Kimberly Bennett said:

AJFiedler said:
Well, just because my profile doesn't say that I love ice-cream and have three dogs doesn't mean that I don't love ice cream and have three dogs. So really I encapsulate all of the qualities you would vote on. :)
pt said:
Awww, really awesome reply :) Had to vote for Kim though. Sorry!
Kimberly Bennett said:
PT I swear i saw you on the El this morning!
pt said:
Wasn't me, I walk to work. But maybe I should start taking the El....
Mary Jane said:
Lexi...because she's my roommate and I promised to vote for her. Also, she's a cool girl.
yourfacehxc said:
lexi! she seems like a doll
Paige Worthy said:
Kimmerly! Love that you have no bad dates memories!
And I'd never date a girl who can't spell definitely.
Andy Duggins said:
Lexi. She's into politics and music. What else is there? Oh that's right, beer! She's got that covered too.
sar-uh said:
lexi! she's awesome
Lexi. duh.
Jason Wleklinski said:
lexiiiiiii, a girl with class, brains for music, and a palette for good beer...oh and those beautiful eyes might give her a few extra points
Beetlegeuse said:
That Lexi girl is mad democratic hot
Jennie Sutcliffe said:
Lexi hands down!
Ed Deline said:
Kimmerly FOR THE WIN.
tankboy said:
Lexi had me until Chicago Yacht Club. Also if Rhea is gonna name-drop she should get her years straight. Gnarls Barkley didn't play Lolla last year. They played in 2008.
So Kimmerly, by default (and by admitting to a Peter Cetera fixation) you have my vote.
AJFiedler said:
I just want to say that sitting by the Yacht Club and belonging to the Yacht Club are two completely different things.
Steph Yiu said:
oh tankboy, you are ALWAYS making a ruckus!!! :p
MSUDP said:
She said "Last year at Lolla...". Is 2008 not last year, Spankboy?
I vote Rhea.
rhea ybarra said:
i consider 2008 last year, since we are still in the year 2009. ...
ekristine said:
I would say that there is a slight flaw in your rational, last years Lollapalooza would be 2008, since this years Lollapalooza would be 2009.
Although this whole scenario is slightly bizarre, while yet some kind of adorable, and I am sure all these ladies are just great; I will say as a friend of Rhea she is a very unique, multi-faceted young lady and my vote's for her.
Rhea is as real as she is classic and always an individual, a quality that should be appreciated in this mall shopped redundancy we experience amongst our 20's-30's contemporaries.
Again I am sure the other ladies are lovely as well, maybe we should be assessing the questions asked of these three clearly intelligent women? Best/worst dates? What they are seeking? Celebrity inspirations? Maybe they don't know what they are seeking, would rather relay the book they were reading than an uncomfortable experience, and relate more to a famous figure in history than a celebrity.
Vote Rhea.
AJFiedler said:
I do like your style, and I just want to say that you are right in stating that there is more to us than just the questions we answer, for the answers likely don't truly define us as women.
Auh...put the bong down and jump back in the time machine you're traveling in...it is 2009 dork. Last year was 2008. And next year is 2010. Is that all clear now? Just checking.
lisa! said:
Lexi!!
irishrunner said:

FStar893 said:
Rhea- Crackers and tree climbing.... And the most unbelievable eyes I have seen in many an Oak Dendrochron!
rhea ybarra said:
thank you! ... i can build a fierce fire in 2.2 as well! ... with out a gas switch or lighter fluid!
FStar893 said:
Hope it's quicker than 2.2 dendrochrons!
I believe the log cabin aka platform style is best for ferocity. A base of pocket lint will decrease your time for achieving ferocity.
rhea ybarra said:
I vote Rhea! ... i dont know if working for bands/singer song writers counts as a music junkie, or can even determain if i have "good taste" in music. one thing i do know, I havent paid for a concert in over 4 years. i get paid to go to shows! google my name, check out my rothbury bus!
Emeka (Chukwu) alams said:
rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! shes my Chicago crush!
Rhea all the way!!! She does wonders @ Halo and any girl that likes to share stories abot Lolla is a winner. And lets not forget shes a stone cold FOX!!!

Ray Crosby said:
Lexi wins!!! She's a true Chicago girl through and through.
Rhea!!!!! She is an incredible girl who is uniquely her own and makes no apologies for living her life now and in the moment!! I have known her since she was 9. She has faced some of the hardest things a young women could ever face. She has done this with grace and elegance and held her head high. She refuses to let the hard things in life get her down. She makes me proud to say she is my friend. Any man would be lucky to have her on his arm! I love you ReRe!!
rhea ybarra said:
wow. thanks al. its one thing living my life but to hear/read someones personal perspective of what kind of life i lead is so priceless. the value of a _real_ Woman is priceless and the beauty is In the eyes of the beholder.... Unbeknownst to me this is actually a "vote for me prom queen" competition... i havent come close to the votes -since i didnt Advertise the ballot-. ... thats why i love you! and my lilboo too!

Jerry Burnes said:
Lexi for sure.
Tiny Rob said:
LEXI! One of my dearest friends in the world.
The last time we hung out, she came down to Austin to visit -- high-class brunch followed by laying around drinking mimosas and watching movies with killer music the rest of the day.
Because I've seen her get on stage at Irish Eyes and belt out a song or two with Gerry.
Because in high school, no one looked better on my arm in the hallway.
Because she's hot, let's be honest. A hell of a catch, and a wonderful friend...she's got the total package.
Lexi. She had me at Guinness.
Diana Sekura said:
