So Mayor Gavin Newsom can't be bothered to show up for a police commissioner meeting or deal with MUNI, the taxicab commission, or the Dept. of Building Inspection -- but he's so there for the SF Symphony Opening Gala! We all know Gavin loves the Stravinsky violin concerto.

And who's Gavin's latest squeeze? The intriguingly-spelled Brittanie Mountz, who played women's lacrosse for Sonoma State. She discussed the importance of civic participation in the arts as Gavin listed off his fashion ("Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci -- underwear, socks, jacket."). Hey, at least he's got on underwear.

Thanks to commenter That Chick, who kindly pointed out the triumphant Return Of Gavin!
