Wyndham Vale mother-of-three Chloe Teao is bringing plenty of smiles to her suburb during lockdown.
Miss Teao has been dressing up in costumes – such as a blow-up chicken, a nun and Michael Jackson – before driving to a friend’s house located near her own and dancing in the street.
She often attracts the attention of other residents who join in the laughter and film her, from their own properties.
Miss Teao said she was inspired to launch her cheer-inducing campaign after talking to friends on the phone, who did not “sound like their usual bubbly selves”.
“I thought, ‘You know what, I need to do something,” she said.
“I just thought: ‘I’ll dress up and be silly.
“More people should do it – it brings joy to you as well as others.”
Miss Teao even scored a free meal after cracking up staff when she walked into McDonalds while dressed as a chicken.
“I just want people to know how, even in horrible times, you can find joy,” she said.
