  1. LarsVonPowerstone says:

    If it were really sleazy, they would have genuine pleather.

  2. paws4thot says:

    I like latex for some things, and I like leather for others, but which is better? There’s only one way to settle this:-

    FIGHT!!!

  3. KinkyTom says:

    this must be the place were they film the bullfrog F*cking scenes O.o

  4. Doctor says:

    Well, I can pronounce the Cyrillic writing, but none of the words ring any bells with me, which is either an indication of how rusty my Russian is, or that it is not Russian.

    • paws4thot says:

      It looks like they’re using the Cyrillic alphabet, but a fair chunk of Eastern Europe does that, not just Russia. So I’d go with “it’s not Russian”.

    • An elite says:

      I do know that in Russian, “КОЖЕНИ ОБЛЕКЛА” means “leather clothing” and “серии” means “series,” but none of the other words make any sense to me (and I know Russian). It could be Ukranian or Belorussian, judging by the -СКА ending on the sign to the left, but that’s all I can tell.

    • NevK says:

      It is in Bulgarian, It is in Sofia, at the five corners going in the direction to NDK, and the sign says ” leather clothing, small collections and orders”

  5. blueJade says:

    I wonder if they’re hiring?

  6. Pejter says:

    It says something around the following:

    Leather-clad. Remains of seasonal series and ??? (<- no idea what "porchki" means).

    Very sleazy imho.

  7. Stealthbg says:

    It’s in Bulgarian. It says: “Leather clothes. Small series and orders.”

    • Pejter says:

      So I was close in my Russian->English translation endeavor (see a bit above).

      • Pejter says:

        Apparently both languages are somewhat similar.

        • JohnB says:

          Many Slavic languages share words, at least in their root forms, with Russian. Ukrainian, in particular, is so close to Russian that back when I was nearly fluent in Russian, I could often puzzle out some Ukrainian. Even some of the Slavic languages that have adopted the Latin alphabet sometimes share root words. And of course, all languages borrow from others.

  8. Hertz says:

    I fail to see how this is engrish.
    They obviously meant it to say exactly what it does say.

    • JohnB says:

      Yeah, “Leather clothes. Small series and orders,” carries exactly the same meaning as “Sleazy studio. Genuine leather.”

  9. JohnB says:

    I think the most hilariouis part is that they apparently have taken “Sleazy” as their trade mark! Wonder if they know what it means.

    • Crumpet says:

      *facepalm* and I need to learn to read…

      • JohnB says:

        I think we all respond to posts before going all the way to the bottom sometimes. It can make us look rather foolish. But I think the key to having fun on this site is to stop worrying about looking foolish! I do it all the time!!!

  10. bluejade says:

    “Sleazy” makes a great trademark for some applications. Cut to the chase!

    • JohnB says:

      If you’re into p0rn distribution, I’m sure it’s a great name. For an outfit that makes leather clothes, I’m not so sure it’s a win, unless they specialize in bondage wear.

      • dr handle says:

        Or motorcycle gear. I think I’ll stick with Tiger Angel (custom fitting free for laydeez, if you’re Down Under).

        • JohnB says:

          They must have to measure you VERY carefully to ensure a proper fit, especially to places Down Under. No wonder they offer it free!

          • dr handle says:

            The actual reason they do custom fit free for ladeez is because the wimmenfolk make up such a small proportion of their customer base, it’s not worth keeping off-the-peg items stocked. And yes, they do measure very carefully. I had more fittings for my last set of leathers than I had for my wedding clothes: measurings, remeasurings, then the calico mock-up, which had to be altered, then more fittings, it’s a very involved business.

            • Hamburgler says:

              That’s some really neat wedding gear, Dr. H! (I mean that sincerely and with no sarcasm.) I am curious if you went with the traditional white or were a rebel and went with black or brown. I would love to go to a wedding and see a bride in leather, as a photographer I have seen enough strapless ‘princess’ dresses to last a lifetime and a half.

              • dr handle says:

                I didn’t actually wear my leathers to my wedding (they were my going away outfit), although I did arrive on my motorcycle (as did the matron of honour, the bridesmaid and the flower boy). I had a pair of dress trousers and a tailored shirt, and a cloak with hood. I was a blue bride; I didn’t wear white, let’s face it, I wouldn’t've been fooling anyone…

            • JohnB says:

              Sorry, but that’s one of my favorite fantasies, the naughty female seamstress who measures very carefully.

  11. Hasabrain says:

    “SLEAZY” isn’t that unusual for a fashion brand …

    However the fact its leather does make it a little more amusing .. however very like not an engrish, perhaps a fail.

  12. me says:

    I prefer latex too.

  13. dr handle says:

    Here, PoodleGroomer, you’re going to want your stilettoes back.

  14. koolboy says:

    HOORAY this is a picture from Bulgaria my homeland I gotta translate it for you i says Leather dresses in low prices but i dont get what SLEAZY means

    • JohnB says:

      I suspect the people who chose that for a company trademark didn’t get it either! “Sleazy” in English refers to something or someone of low character, disreputable, low-class, vulgar, with a hint of sexual immorality. But if that’s the type of image you want to cultivate, look them up!

  15. PaprykaSpice says:

    “I need some more of my…. special leather.”

  16. Hertz says:

    As The Stranglers (a favourite band of mine) sung 30 years ago:
    “Nice’n'sleazy does it, Nice’n'sleazy does it.
    Nice’n'sleazy does it. Does it every time!”

    And, damn, when it comes to women and leather/rubber clothes nice and sleazy really does do it for me any time!

  17. YesMAn says:

    The poor bastards mistakenly put sleazy instead of sleaky

    • Hertz says:

      ‘Sleaky’?
      Sounds like an amalgam of ‘slinky’ and ‘leaky’ which again is quite sleazy when it comes to leather clothes.

  18. Tea says:

    This is Russian, I don’t know what it is, but the letters are all Russian.

    • JohnB says:

      Many Slavic languages use the Cyrillic alphabet, in whole or in part. If you had read the discussion above, you would have learned that this is Bulgarian, which is a language that uses the Cyriillic alphabet in its entirety.

      • Tea says:

        Oh, thanks, I’m sorry for my ignorance. I’m studying Russian so I just assumed…I didn’t read the comments throughly. Thank you :D

      • adav84 says:

        Some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic , too; e.g. Kazakh and Mongolian. Not to mention the many languages of the native peoples of Siberia and particularly the “Extreme North”. (I just thought that now that we’ve established that Cyrillic isn’t exclusive to Russian… take that! It isn’t even exclusive to just the Slavic languages, either.)

        • JohnB says:

          I was not aware myself that Kazakh and Mongolian utilized the Cyrillic alphabet, which is interesting. Of course that makes sense politically and culturally, since Kazakhstan was one of the Soviet Sociallist Republics in the old USSR, and Mongolia was under Russian domination for many years.

          • Tea says:

            The more you know.

            Well, it’s nice to know this stuff, I feel less stupid now.

            • JohnB says:

              Keep studying Russkiy yazik! It’s an interesting language. I took it many years, but opportunities for me to use it have been so limited that I’m quite rusty. But I hope one day to visit there, and I suspect that if I stayed there a month or so, a lot would come back to me. At one time, I knew it well enough that I would have occasional dreams in Russian, which is a strange experience. Of course, I am partly of Russian heritage, and am fully pan-Slavic in ancestry (also Ukrainian, Polish, and Lithuanian), so for me it’s in my DNA…

              • Name Last Name says:

                An even more strange experience? Your Norwegian friends begin speaking russian and your russian friends start speaking norwegian… and a giant snake keeps killing all of them. happened to me once in a dream.

  19. Lea says:

    In Soviet Russia, latex prefer YOU!!

  20. ljk says:

    It’s Serbian or Croatian, and the second part says something about whipping.
