Dora Noemí Kerchen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dora Noemí Kerchen, born in March 1975, also known by her stage name, Dorismar (also spelled Doris Mar), is a model, actress, television host, and Argentine singer. Working first in Argentina and later in Miami. She was selected to appear on the cover of Playboy, representing The Sexy Ladies of Latin TV, in March 2003. She has been the hostess of the Univisión Network, (the largest Spanish-language television network in the United States), television show Caliente since 2000. Her image has been part of innumerable advertising campaigns, and recently she began to sing Mexican regional music, recording her first disc in Los Angeles, California.

In 2005, Dorismar posed in provocative posters distributed in Mexico aimed at protecting endangered sea turtles from people who believe their eggs are a source of virility, proclaiming "My man does not need turtle eggs because he knows that they don't make him more potent," and ""Sea turtle eggs DO NOT increase sexual potency!" These advertisements drew some derision from women's rights groups, and several environmental groups refused to be associated with the campaign.

In 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security abruptly deported in handcuffs, Dorismar and her husband/manager Alejandro (Alex) Schiff to Argentina, asserting that she was an illegal alien in the United States. Dorismar has contested this effort, claiming that her physical attributes place her in the category of "alien of extraordinary ability", which would allow her to seek residency in the U.S. based on her talents.
