Most days you'll find Jaque eagerly building their exciting new Vegas branding image and creating relationships with new friends throughout the metropolitan Las Vegas Area. Jaqueline, the sole-investor of Fiu Fiu! is not your typical business owner. She's a college graduate (with dual majors) turned exotic dancer and fashion designer. She knows first-hand what it is to be sexy in Las Vegas. "Obviously Vegas is not your typical town and, obviously, I'm not your typical owner." says, Jaqueline. "No where else can you be an owner of successful online fashion company AND be an exotic dancer at the same time without anyone looking at your strangely or taking offense." Jaqueline's unlikely story shows that being a dancer isn't the end of the road as some may think but something that can be used to allow you to follow your dreams - if you so choose. "Dancing was obviously not my first career choice... and something I wouldn't recommend for everyone... but, in some way I'm grateful. It's allowed me to do something I would have never been able to do alone - and that is own my own company!"
