A ex-restaurant worker who couldn’t afford ‘rent, bills or food’ and would steal food for her family now makes fortune – all thanks to Doris from Shrek but with a saucy twist
A woman who was so poor she couldn’t afford food for her family is now making a fortune dressing up as a “naughty” Shrek character online. And, surprisingly, it’s not one of the famous ogres who is pulling in the crowds. Avalon Mira, who boasts over 344K followers on Instagram, first started dressing as Doris from the hit film franchise a few years ago, when one of her followers pointed out the resemblance between them.
She now makes up to £30,000 a month cosplaying as Doris. “I used to be so broke,” said Avalon, who is from Colorado, US. “I couldn’t afford rent or bills, and was forced to steal food for my family. Doris has changed everything. I've never made this much money in my entire life. The mum collaborates with other creators too, having done a Shrek-themed video earlier this year with 20 people dressed as characters from the popular films – including Prince Charming. But this isn’t the first time she has stripped off for an audience. Avalaon, who “loves” performing, auditioned to be an exotic dancer in the past – something she admits her family had a hard time accepting.
"Even if they don't agree with what I do, they realise that I'm an adult. They think dressing up as Doris is so funny. But my mum doesn't know just how sexy I make the character look.”
