A Singaporean mum who won Miss Erotica title in New Zealand has stated that she wants to be a porn star.
Ms Audrey Tan, 27, became the first Asian to be voted in August as the most popular sex siren for her work as a nude model in New Zealand.
The single mother of two children - aged four and eight - beat eight other contestants in a contest organised by adult-theme events organiser Erotica Lifestyles Expo.
But as far as her mother in Singapore knows, Ms Tan is working in a university in New Zealand, reported The New Paper.
Despite having moved to New Zealand with her father and stepmother when she was four years old, Ms Tan, who is a New Zealand permanent resident, still holds a Singapore passport and considers herself a Singaporean.
"Since I was young, I've always been a bit of a rebel. I've always been curious and interested in the adult entertainment industry," told Ms Tan to The New Paper.
Ms Tan, who holds a legal executive diploma from Auckland University of Technology, danced part-time as a stripper when she was 18 years old, while holding a day job in a law firm.
She quit stripping for a year but returned to it and took up posing nude recently after breaking up with her boyfriend.
She also spent around $9,000 for a trip to Middle East to enlarge her breasts from a B-cup to a DD-cup. Ms Tan, who earns up to $1,300 per photo shoot, said that it was cheaper and better than doing it in New Zealand.
"When you've got it, flaunt it. That's my philosophy," said Ms Tan.
As reigning Miss Erotica, she will need to take part in the controversial "Boobs on Bike" parade, which features topless women on motorcycles in New Zealand cities.
Ms Tan says it's not the money that she is after.
"The money's not great, but the title will give me the exposure I need to make it big as an international sex star," said Ms Tan.
"Annabel Chong has done it, Tila Tequila is doing it, so what's wrong with a dream of being the next Singaporean to make it big on the scene?" said Ms Tan to The New Paper.
Ms Chong, also known as Grace Quek, is a former porn star who is infamous for her 251-men sex romp over a ten-hour period, whereas Singapore-born Tequila is known for her appearances in men's magazines.
When asked if she was concerned about contracting sexually transmitted diseases, Ms Tan said she has no qualms as it is illegal to have commercial sex without protection.
She also claimed that her employer has no problems with her other career as she keeps both jobs separate.
Ms Tan usually visits her mother in Singapore once a year.
"I'm sure my mum will be shocked, but I don't think she'll be entirely surprised. She's a typical Asian mum who wanted me to become a doctor or a lawyer.
"Working in the adult industry is just another career path, but maybe not what she had in mind," said Ms Tan.
She also said that although her mum will initially be shocked, she thinks she will be even more shocked to find out that she had her breasts done.
Ms Tan reckons her mum would have overcome the surprise and will be talking to her as usual by the time she comes back later this year.
