On not one, but two occasions (if not more), Supervisor John Avalos has derisively suggested that Mayor Gavin Newsom resides in a different universe than the rest of us. We're not sure if Pacific Heights qualifies as another universe, but, whatever plane of existence Gavin dwells in, it appears he has ready access to at least two things: L'Oreal Total Control Clean Gel and John Avalos' private e-mail account. 

Avalos told SF Weekly he was surprised to stumble across a "Buck the system with Gavin" e-mail in his personal inbox recently. Apart from the District 11 supe's questions about how, exactly, casting a vote for Newsom qualifies as "bucking the system," Avalos is curious how he found his way onto the Newsom bandwagon's mailing list.

"I certainly didn't ask to get on," he said.

Avalos said he's been "too busy" to go to the trouble of offically unsubscribing from the Newsom list. But that shouldn't be taken as a sign he's a Gavin-backer.

"I hope I'm not being counted on as a supporter," he said. "Because I'm not really there."

Apparently Avalos is registered to vote in a whole different universe.
