Which Kim Should Play Bass For The Pixies Next?

Kim Deal vacated the bass playing position in the Pixies a while ago and just this weekend her replacement Kim Shattuk was let go from the band. So that got us to thinking, which Kim should the band bring on next to provide the low end with both bass and vocals as Black Francis' foil?
Kim Gordon
Odds: 3-1
Since disbanding Sonic Youth she has free time on her hands, and while she does have one ongoing musical concern she still has plenty of time for this one. Also, she could inject some much needed new blood into the Pixies' songwriting process. Of course that could also be a strike against her as far as Black Francis is concerned. Actually let's lower those odds since Gordon might very well be the only bassist who could intimidate Francis more than Kim Deal!
Kim Schifino
Odds: 4-1
The drummer from Matt & Kim already has impeccable rythm and can sing while playing. The only drawback is that, next to the rest of the Pixes, she would come across as severely suffering from ADHD. But can she play bass? Does it really matter? As long as she can nail "Gigantic" she'd be golden.
Kim Jong Un
Odds: 5-1

According to the man's press, he can do anything. He mght have trouble touring with the band outside of, say, North Korea though. More succintcly, once they enter North Korea there's a good chance we'd never hear from the Pixies again. Whoops.
Kim Possible
Odds: improbably unless the band reverts to 2-D.
She could be the perfect bridge between the band's graying fanbase and a whole new generation of school kids!
Kim Kardashian
Odds 10-1
She's going to get tired of Kanye eventually so when she moves on to the next musician this could be the perfect fit!
