THE STORY OF LITTLE BOUGIES
How a wonder woman and a little chihuahua changed my life forever ...
It’s not everyday that you meet a woman like Ada Nieves, who I refer to as “Queen of Chihuahuas”. She moved from Puerto Rico to NYC, and changed the city forever. Ada adopted her first little Chihuahua who she warmed up in a sock because her little fluff was so tiny and always shivering. After her baby passed, her heart was broken and she swore she would never get another dog again. But her husband would hear none of that and baby Vanilla came into her life. She was the inspiration that changed Ada and the life of Chihuahua’s forever. Vanilla had it good. Ada started making pet clothes, pet cupcakes, pet birthday parties, sweet sixteens, getting her into films, starting Chihuahua Nation, organizing chihuahua meetups, hosting the NYC Pet Fashion Show, and more. It was because of the NY Fashion Show, and annual event hosted at the Pennsylvania Hotel, (currently being torn down), where I was fortunate enough to meet this wonder woman and her star chihuahua, Vanilla. Because of Ada, who introduced me to so many wonderful people, I am so wrapped up in this crazy, quirky and yet important world of pet influencers, and there’s no turning back. Better yet, there’s no other place I’d rather be. Thank you Ada!
