But someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy adversary — Wednesday Addams
That's what she thinks when the truth is that more than half of us are actually crocheting to keep ourselves from choking people.

Have you ever heard of Disneybounding? Disneybounding is a growing trend among Disney fans that involves dressing up in outfits inspired by their favorite Disney characters, without wearing actual costumes.
Why do people Disneybound?
This trend is particularly popular among Disney adult fans in Disney Parks because the park has a dress code that states that guests ages 14 and up are not allowed to wear costumes in the park.

She admits that it is quite heavy (around 5kg) and that she needed extra support around the waist so that it doesn't drag down the top.
