To my surprise one hundred stories high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
Folks screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldnt get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody is going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(burn baby burn) disco inferno
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
Theres a party somewhere
(just cant stop) when my spark gets hot
(just cant stop) when my spark gets hot

Cheers GL

GL you dog;
What’s up with that. Temptations so sublime, enough to bend my weary spine.
Very nice. Do any of these lovely young ladies own their love and attentions to you yet? I see so many, but how do they treat and respond to actual men?
They look so beautiful, the descriptions you use are most excellent, but are they cold hearted, back stabbing leeches to the man they swear and promise their undieing love to, like their North American counterparts?

“cold hearted, back stabbing leeches” ???
Where are you getting that from Canajun?
“Do any of these lovely young ladies own their love and attentions to you yet?”
What does that mean? Am I dating any of the girls in this particular photo set? No
“How do they respond to men?”
That depends on how men here treat them wouldn’t you say?
Canajun don’t take this the wrong way.. but does the sight of sexy women make you anticipate the worse in them?
If so maybe that’s true where you are from but that is certainly not the norm here. And the sooner you get here to experience that for yourself along with paying your gentlemanly respects the faster you will have this idea on your part adjusted.

And they love to dance and party.
I’m disappointed they are doing the belly piercing thing. Are they also putting piercings in thier eyebrows, noses and tongues. One piercing in the ears is nice for earings but all the others I personally don’t like.
6 to 1. I’d be glad to help you GL.
February 11, 2007 at 3:27 pm
I agree with Ceiver about the piercings. Any type of piercing (except for earlobes) is a deal-breaker for me. Hopefully this isn’t typical in Russia.
February 11, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Piercings in the eyebrows, nose, and tongues is much more rarer here then it is in the States and I agree that it’s a turn-off. However the belly button piercing is not a problem for me at all.
February 12, 2007 at 2:52 pm
Dear GL, maybe it’s more educational to sort visitors and advertisement dancers apart 😉
February 13, 2007 at 10:47 pm
I thought the whole point of courting Russian girls is to have a modest dignified wife. Numbers one and two are pretty, but the way they are dressed is totally inapproprite for a public place. And number three looks awful.
Marie
February 13, 2007 at 11:04 pm
Number 3 looks probably 10 times better than you do Mongoose.

Ok I tried to change my default email to my Yahoo one, which goes through right away..
However I was logged in AND I just sent a comment and it didnt go through. This means that either wordpress didn’t change my default email to the yahoo email (even though it said it did), or comments don’t go through right away for me when I am logged in. Ok so I am logged out now, and we are going to try this again..
And I just realized that I can’t think of anything more to say wrt this post..except that number 2 is very pretty and I can’t wait until you post more photos.
–Luke
February 14, 2007 at 4:52 am
Mongoose, why don’t you post your picture here and let us decide for ourselves whether those Russian girls are prettier than you?
February 14, 2007 at 7:28 am
Mongoose,
What you consider to be scandalous attire is considered normal here and has very little bearing on what the girl is actually like character wise.
If you ever have the chance to come to Russia in the Summertime you will see for yourself EXACTLY what I am talking about.
#3 is actually a total sweetheart of a lady. She is happily married and has a 2 year old son. And her and her husband enjoy going out to have some fun at the discos periodically.
Be very careful what you Assume here.
GL
February 14, 2007 at 7:30 am
BTW #2 is one of the stage dancers..
What she’s wearing is only part of her costume for the dance routine she was doing with other girls.
GL
February 14, 2007 at 11:34 am
Privet GL;
I was caught in a moment of my own experience from past loves here. I do apologize and mean no affront comparing these ladies to the women of North America.
I am working on your proposal to visit your fair country of current residence. I am hoping all will be healed with a warm heart and a new love.
The best therapy known throughout the history of mankind. Please excuse my prior lapse.
😉

Happy Valentine’s!!
Remember to greet your Russian friends, they’ve accepted this holiday heartfully!
…And may each of you and Someone Special prove the real existence of Great True Love.
Sincerely, Comrade N.

Greenlander, since what time one’s own looks have become the measure of tastes? Well, I would rank #3 more than #1 if it were the “beauty contest”!
February 14, 2007 at 3:06 pm
…meant to say, “would give much higher scores to #3”
February 14, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Hi Canajun,
No sweat buddy.. I figured as such.. and as we can see in this thread the appearance of these girls have thrown others for a loop as well.
I’m sure I’ll write more about this issue of sexiness and clothes in detail sometime in the future so everyone can get a better handle on this.
GL
February 14, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Mongoose,
Still waiting for that retouched photo of yours? I want to make sure you do look like a mongoose.
February 14, 2007 at 5:27 pm
Mongoose- or it’s a loon, or swan, or goose, or… 😀
February 14, 2007 at 6:39 pm
“Sorry–if it quacks and swims, it’s probably a duck.”
This from someone who, I’m guessing, is always ready to lecture others on cultural sensitivity and not judging another country by our own standards…
February 14, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Natalya,
You probably know better than anyone here. Do most Russian ladies dress like that for a night on the town?
Marie
February 14, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Yeah, we’re just a bunch of liars 🙂
I think she’s already talked about this:

February 14, 2007 at 9:42 pm
It’s a huge mistake to judge people based on the looks…even more when it comes to women from the other side of the world!
Here in the western world there are many women who dress in a sexy way who may not be long term relationship or marriage material. But sometimes I’m surprised how some sexy women here can be very nice and the “bitch” attitude they may have is just a “time management tool” for immature and needy guys approaching her…
I’m glad that russian women (just on the looks department) can be very elegant, sophisticated AND VERY SEXY.
And we know there are quite a lot of other qualities not mentioned…
Un saludo y suerte

A real lady never has a “bitch” attitude. She knows how to say “no” with kindness and appreciation.
February 14, 2007 at 11:00 pm
All I’m seeing here is that Russian women dress in a variety of different ways like most here. I live in a fairly large city, and the young girls here wear jeans and sexy tops when they go out and the more sophisticated women wear “little black dresses” and heels. I have never seen anything like the attire of numbers two and three at a club here.
The pictures that would intrigue me if I were a man are the ones with the beautiful clothes and fur coats.
Marie

“A real lady never has a “bitch” attitude. She knows how to say “no” with kindness and appreciation.”
In some ways is true but it sounds too romantic and idealistic to me.
Maybe that’s your model of reality about women.
And I never meant that real ladies don’t exist.
Probably I should have said…
“Here in the western world there are many women who dress in a sexy way who may not be long term relationship or marriage material.

Women respond how men treat them…
Make sense?
February 15, 2007 at 12:01 am
I am not a student of style but my observation has revealed …
My FSU lady has the same concerns as other women, not having enough clothes and shoes in the closet. She is concerned for her skin and hair and picks natural products to protect. She is not rich, so she is very cost conscious in the clothing stores. (she does not make her clothes as indicated in another blog entry) She is very fashion and style conscious. She does like to dress perhaps a bit provocatively for parties,
dancing and clubs, otherwise in warm weather, her belly is bare with the low cut waist, and she dresses appropriately for the occassion (church and weddings or hiking on the trail). Watch out for the shoes and boots, the long pointed toes will kill. She likes to feel pretty and attractive.
The women in the above photos are dress for the occassion. I’ve noticed the leapord prints are popular, and the bare bellies. Although at first glance they may appear provocative, they more appear to be in the european style and just having fun being women.
February 15, 2007 at 12:29 am
“I have never seen anything like the attire of numbers two and three at a club here.”
Well, isn’t that kind of the point?!
How could you possibly know what would intrigue you if you were a man? Unless…
Bitch and moan, bitch and moan. Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙄
February 15, 2007 at 12:39 am
Akhand, the reverse is also true. Men respond to how women treat them as well. It’s a two-way street.

Yo RW! I am on the train viewing the site, and i had guys peeking over my shoulder looking @ the girls, every1 liked the girls except new 3.

GL,
Was “Disco Inferno” the song that they were playing at the disco you went to?
–Luke
February 15, 2007 at 4:58 am
haha, that would be cool, I love that song. Some guys I know made a steel drum/reggae version… funny but not that good. I still boogied to it though!!!
DA WHALE BOY {boogies with his flippers!}
February 15, 2007 at 8:20 am
Mongoose,
I believe you are suggesting that I’m either ignorant or that I’m lying to everyone about my above posts.. and I’m getting close to adding another profile update under the denial section on you..
All you have to do is look at some of the other summer photos and you would have your answer.
Here’s an example.. Photo 1.. perfectly normal here.
February 15, 2007 at 8:35 am
Luke,
They were playing mostly DJ House music mixed in with some Western and Russian Hits..
February 15, 2007 at 2:50 pm
rw_man
I looked at the Summer clothes pictures and that’s how we mostly dress here in the hot weather too. I wear a lot of dresses in the Summer. The red-head could make big money as a model.
Marie
February 15, 2007 at 4:49 pm
uh-0h, they played Western hits in Siberia! Luke will not like that, LOL. I guess silly music infiltrates all corners of the world.
GL – is traditional folk music still popular in Siberia? Im very interested in folk music and what music can show us about the culture and tradition of a community.
February 15, 2007 at 5:57 pm
Ok so since the original photo of alona (#3) was not so universally liked I just replaced it with a better one that I took of her.
It’s amazing what a bad camera angle or bad lighting will do to screw someone’s appearance up. But hopefully this is much better..
Let me know what you think..
GL
February 15, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Russian women are beautiful beyond my comprehension…
Holy guacamole!
Da Whale Boy – in addition to what GL might offer in response to your music question, I thought I might mention some of my experiences: My fiancee and her family are very much in to the upbeat/euro-dance style of music (even the men) – Her mother, however, listens to old Russian music (stuff that we would consider “oldies” here), which is very folksy. As they explain it to me a lot of these songs are old drinking songs (LOL), but many of them are very poetic and have impressive instrumentals as well. There are several “pop” groups that are quite popular, many of them comprised of unbelievably stunning Siberian women. At first listen these Russian pop songs are mildly catchy, but after watching Russian women get down on the dance floor…
So while the older folk music may be collecting some dust, it is still enjoyed occasionally. According to the Russians that I have spoken with, it has taken a while for Russia to get caught up in the music world.

Wow, Alona is so beautiful. I’ve never seen such beautiful long, soft, light blonde hair before….
(except for number 10:1 who has hair that is just as light, but not as nice as Alona’s)
–Luke
February 16, 2007 at 12:38 pm
And Alyona definitely has more class in her entire face. As I told by the previous photo )
February 16, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Though #1’s hair has more natural origin 😉
February 16, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Taras:
The reverse is obviously true
February 16, 2007 at 3:26 pm
“It’s amazing what a bad camera angle or bad lighting will do to screw someone’s appearance up. But hopefully this is much better.. ”
This reminds me of the “Seinfeld” episode where Jerry dated a “two-face”. Half of the time she looked gorgeous, but the rest of the time she looked hideous. He would only bring her to places that had good lighting.
February 20, 2007 at 1:59 pm
Believe me, Hero, filmability and beauty (even if we take beauty as physical perfection regardless of lively expressions and the “inner energy”) are two different things. I could tell much about “color-photo models” and “B&W-photo models”, faces looking exquisite through the camera and ugly in life, and beautiful faces ruined by poor optics.

Hey, you’re preaching to the choir, Natalia. Some of these celebrities who look hot on film have been airbrushed to the point where their own mamas wouldn’t recognize them. Conversely, the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Passport office could make the hottest supermodel in the universe look like a skank.

Ah yes, we say “sign of that you must get that damned vacation: when you start resembling your passport shot” ))

I just want to let your readers know that after traveling Russia, Ukraine, and all of Eastern Europe for years, starting back in 1990, that there is a big difference between the city girls and the country girls. Often in any big city of the world we see more secular pluralism.
So hot disco girls represent a smaller percentage of the girls of Russia, even city gals. There is a rainbow of characters that grace and disgrace women of every culture. Much of what I have read on this blog is right on. Russian ladies can be partially generalized, but as in any culture, there is a lot of individuality, diversity and even dysfunction!
February 21, 2007 at 2:08 am
Hi Geoffrey,
Thanks for giving us your 2-cents and validating the content that is on this blog. We actually need more guys like you to step up to the plate and tell it like it is as opposed to some Feminist for example that has never been in this part of the world 🙂
I like your descriptive “rainbow of characters that grace and disgrace”.
I think we are both in agreement that the sliding scale of these characters are VASTLY different between the women in US & Western Nations as opposed to the ladies that you and I have seen here in the FSU.
As long as everyone understands this then there can really be no criticisms about inaccurate generalizations or stereotypes.
National and Regional Character is a REAL trait.
It does exist and to claim that all women are the generally “the same” between East and West is just more Cultural Marxist BS that any number of jealous women from the west are desperately trying to sell.
Thanks again and please tell your friends.
GL
February 27, 2007 at 11:42 am
Oh, missed some comments )
#2 is stage dance only. Even prostitutes don’t stoop to this length. Natalia’s Rule: the more ham exposure, the less lady inside.
#3: open tops are normal for summer or dance. Particularly when she is coupled. Otherwise I’d wince at a bare back in the winter. But if you offered me to choose between combining leopard with pink and being labeled a snob, I just hope that the “Snob” t-shirt is snug enough.
#1 is dressed Chaste as for disco. Chaster is a long-sleeved “T” or a shirt. Half girls don’t dress to kill. They aint sex bombs, they are snipers. Mainly in the good sense.
Snug Ts, smart shirts, turtlenecks, pullovers, jackets with jeans / trunks are “cultural norm” daily uniform. Skirts depend on the fashion trends (derived from Vogue, normal women’s reading, or Turkish / Chinese imports – choose one). Dresses, loose wear and long skirts promise an interesting personality.
And to add to the approach-denial discussion with a Russian joke…
– Oh, watch that hottie! Have you laid her?
– No.
– Me neither.
(Both) WHAT A WHORE!

March 3, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Or a photographer who doesn’t know what he’s doing Natalia. That is why I wince at my own photographs taken by most people, they do everything I know not to do. Starting with using a normal lens close up, which make you look like you’re a cousin of Borat with an overly big nose. Lighting, clothing and backgrounds are the key, they can make a portly or even fat person look thinner, or a thin person look like she’s been raiding the local doughnut shop. It’s not hard to take good picture of people, once ome remembers a few simple tricks of the trade.

Thank you
