Russian Bondage Cheerleaders

Here you have it, the only cheerleader team that travels to and from work in coffle.
I've made a couple of posts involving repurposed photos that I have completely, willfully and falsely implied relate to cheerleader training. (Here and here to be exact). So it was with great interest that I saw the above photo placed on a radio station's blog as the "picture of the day," showing what appears to be a group of female bondage slaves writhing on the ground on a soccer field while male soccer players practiced in the background.

It was labelled a female Russian bondage soccer team. A commenter posted that he thought they were cheerleaders, not players, and looking at the photo I tend to agree with the anonymous commenter -- they are all very attractive young women with long-flowing hair. Now that does not preclude them from being a soccer team, but given that ALL of them have that look, I'd say it's kind of a clue. Being a soccer player is quite consistent with being a hottie, since soccer players are typically young and fit, but a good many of the best soccer players are just average-looking at best. It's a sport, not a beauty contest.

But damn, look at those outfits! Pure bondage slave outfits! Just compare with the actual slave outfit shown here from Second Life.


OK, no cuffs or leg shackles on the cuties, but they do have collars, and are otherwise quite similar!
(This is another clue indicating they're cheerleaders ... soccer uniforms tend to be very utilitarian, just shorts, a T-shirt, socks and shoes, just the thing for running about vigorously. All those straps and stuff that an opposing players might slyly grab while the referee looks away ... not very utilitarian!)

I did some research and found many other images of the photo on the web, all of them labelled as being of unknown origin, or just "by some guy named Petros." I dug a little deeper, found a Russian photo site (kind of like Reddit only more humor oriented) called Kaifolog.ru that had the photos branded with it's URL and asked for a linkback if their photos are used. So here ya go, Kaifolog, nice find! (Do check it out, there are some amazing photos on the site. Some are NSFW. You can use Google translator to get an idea what's being written, but most of the images are universal in their appeal.)

I still wasn't happy, wanted to know who actually took the pictures, and finally tracked it down to a St. Petersburg, Russia, photographer named Alexander Petrosyan. Found his livejournal page, check it out, he's done some amazing stuff. And both his page and Kaifolog have much larger images of the bondage cheerleaders than are shown here.

Still don't know the full story behind the photo, but you gotta admit ... bondage cheerleaders ... those Russians have got it going on! And of course, hats off to Alexander Petrosyan, for taking the photo.
