Bon voyage madame president?
It might seem hard to imagine, but San Francisco is in danger of losing Theresa Sparks.
The Police Commission president and transgender activist seems as almost uniquely San Franciscan as Good Vibrations, the woman-friendly sex toy retailer that she used to be chief executive officer of.
Therein lies the rub.
Cleveland-based adult store operator GVA-TWN bought Good Vibrations in late 2007, and by August, Sparks was out of a job.
She, like millions of Americans, is now job hunting in a recession, never a fun time.

Two San Francisco icons. The one on the right might be on the way out.
The employment search is taking Sparks far and wide — Insider caught up with her by phone in Kansas City.
“I’ve had 25 jobs that I’ve applied for,” Sparks said.
“I absolutely prefer that I stay in San Francisco,” she said, but added she’ll wind up “wherever the job happens.”
