New Boundage Leather Store in Vallarta
by Krystal Verdun
The doors may be closed, but there is plenty of action happening at the location of PV Bound Leather, above Bar Frida in Old Town Puerto Vallarta.
The constant banging of hammers coming from the space soon to be the retail location for PV Bound Leather could be that from either construction work, or the mallets used in the leather production. Staff members are busy preparing for the winter, as products are designed and stock is amassed.
The Puerto Vallarta leather store, designing and creating all stock in-house, are sticking to one business mantra: Reasonably priced quality leather and BDSM gear.
The store in Puerto Vallarta is backed by an online catalog at www.pvboundleather.com, featuring a vast selection of leather and bondage gear. PV Bound Leather is excited to be offering free shipping within Mexico on all orders, something currently unheard of in Mexico for online shopping.
Spanish-speaking shoppers can visit the Spanish-translated website Cuero-Negro.com to shop in Spanish. Cuero-Negro.com also offers free shipping within Mexico on all orders, and will include a weekly special available only to members of the website.
PV Bound Leather will be stocking harnesses for men and women, leather clothing, custom chaps, bondage equipment, and European-inspired BDSM gear. The leather gear, made with quality leather, is hand-made by leather-masters in the PV Bound Leather production studio.
The location of PV Bound Leather store is in Old Town Puerto Vallarta, close to many of the bars and clubs. The Old Town of Puerto Vallarta, aka Zona Romantica, is a lively and busy part of the popular Mexican beach resort town. The infamous Club Mañana, one of the top gay bars in the world, is located one block from PV Bound Leather.
Visitors and tourists return to Puerto Vallarta annually because the city is a safe and a relaxing place to visit, full of friendly locals, and activities for most interests. The PV Bound Leather addition in the business community will add a new twist to the city, making the city more diverse to tourists and visitors.
When planning your vacation to Puerto Vallarta, be sure to include the PV Bound Leather store in your itinerary, as the store will have something for most likes and fetishes. Finding PV Bound Leather is easy, given that the store is located on the third floor above Bar Frida’s on the corner of Calle Insurgentes and Venustiano Carranza in Old Town Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
The Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival has been postponed until November of 2011 while we continue to seek out qualified LGBT films for the Festival. As a first-time event, we want to make sure that the quality of the PVIGLFF meets, and hopefully exceeds, the cultural expectations of the destination, as well as its audience. We encourage all LGBT filmmakers around the world with Spanish language, or English language films with Spanish subtitles, to continue to submit their films for consideration.
The Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, PVIGLFF, is based in the world-renowned historic Zona Romantica of Puerto Vallarta, steps from the Gringo Gulch area which set the stage for the torrid love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton that brought Puerto Vallarta unique international attention.
Our first Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival will take place April 28th though May 1st, 2011, with screenings at both outdoor and indoor venues, from private estates, to beach clubs and cultural centers. Our Monthly Screening Series provides further screenings, educational, and social opportunities throughout the year for the LGBT community and its supporters.
As a grassroots Festival with programs supported by volunteers, assistance for the community is always appreciated and welcome. We look forward to everyone’s involvement in the Puerto Vallarta International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Monthly Screening Series! Please CONTACT US to volunteer, sponsor events, provide accommodations, travel, or meals for talent, or provide a screening venue for the Festival or Monthly Screening Series. To receive our e-mail newsletter and updates on the Festival please SUBSCRIBE HERE.
Managers’ Night » August 24
On Tuesday, August 24, many of Vallarta’s gay bars sent representatives to Paco’s Ranch for SETAC’S ”Manager’s Show”. At this event, employees from each bar did numbers in drag to help raise money for the many programs at Vallarta’s GLBT community center. Participating from Frida’s this year was bartender Mario. He’s the tall one, dressed as Frida Kahlo, below. His performance was a show-stopper. Simply terrific. (note: Mario and his gang are professional dancers since childhood, can ya tell?)
