Kinky Cell Phone Charms

Bondage Kewpie Phone Strap

Bondage babies?

We're all familiar with the cute little cell phone charms originally made famous in Japan, but what most of us haven't seen, however, is just how bizarre they get. Everyone wants something unique, so when the rest of the world caught onto the phone strap trend, it was only natural for Japanese artists to start developing something a little more creative.

Just look at the Bondage Kewpie Tied up with Cell Phone Strap.

That's just a little too kinky for something that's supposed to be cutesie. Kewpie dolls are actually quite famous little figurines. And no, the name doesn't come from a slurred "cutie pie," the term actually comes from "cupid."
