So, alcohol + payday + retail therapy + low self esteem day = ??
Every third Friday of the month is “leather/gear” night at one of our local watering holes. In addition to being chock full of guys in various states of undress (with added leather accoutrement), there is also a pop up shop of sorts selling leather goods.
And I kinda know the leather maker guy. He makes all sorts of leather goods. Anyway.
At one point (after about 3 cocktails) I found myself over by the leather goods and that’s when I spotted it. A leather harness— but with the addition of Pokémon characters. Yes. Pokémon. And I thought “OMG- must. Own. This.”
Karri, you see, makes all sorts of bulldog style harnesses in leather, but with different trim colors, etc. He makes colored harnesses for different fetishes, sparkly harnesses, harnesses in camo or other patterns. And yes. Even Pokémon.
And before you say it- yes, I’m too old for Pokémon. It was after my time. By like a decade. But I know what it is. And the re-release with the phone virtual game made it part of the pop lexicon again. And honestly? I love the irony of me wearing it. And the whimsical nature of it.
It’s fucking fin, I say!

So yeah. This is something I own now.
