I suppose it was only a matter of time before I encountered BDSM paraphernalia at Rudy’s Barbershop on Melrose. Though I hadn’t imagined it would be worn by dear Leon, who cuts my hair every, like, eight days.

I thought he was wearing some sort of Nom de Guerre or Rick Owens contraption. Turns out it’s an American Apparel white button-down and a leather harness from Rough Trade. He also wore a foxtail keychain hanging from his back pocket. While getting my trim I asked him how the harness…worked exactly, then blushed five seconds into the explanation and dove into email on my iPhone. But love the look, L.
