On weekends and during vacations, María Cristina Garza dresses up as a quetzal bird, which is highly prized for its beautiful feathers, and poses for photos in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico. She charges tourists 20 Mexican pesos ($1) per photo. “There are very good days,” she says. “I make up to 500 pesos ($26) in tips in one afternoon.”
