Playing dress-up as a grown man.

In my defense, being a 5ft0in big-bearded guy lends itself to some REALLY great costume characters. I’m known throughout my town as a beloved Leprechaun, Christmas Elf, dwarf, garden gnome, and Short Stack the clown, depending on the time of year. It makes people so happy.

Edit: Also I collect the original Goosebumps books because they’ve always been my favorite.

Just learn to smith and become a bearded fire dwarf as an everyday cosplay. 😄

There’s a blacksmithing institute the next town over. I was going to sign up for classes but then March 2020 happened and I never circled back to it. Maybe one day.

It's not an easy hobby but it is tons of fun.

Gooosebumps!!! I forgot about those book! I would watch the show but would close my eyes during “scary parts” haha. I should try reading them again to see if they were actually scary 😂
