Meet Disney obsessed Emma Kirby…although to be honest we’re pretty sure that there’s one or two on the Her.ie team who could rival her knowledge of the much loved classics.

To be fair though, Emma has taken her interest to another level and often dresses up as different Disney princesses including Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty.

Events assistant Emma, who lives in Battersea, London with her partner Jazz, is no shrinking violet and goes about her business wearing specially made Disney outfits.

On a recent train journey, Emma was dressed as Elsa from Disney hit Frozen when a child spotted her and shouted “Queen Elsa” before encouraging the entire carriage to sing Let It Go from the film.

The 24-year-old says: “I live in a fairy tale world most of the time and I love it. It’s great to feel so magical and special, ever since I was a little girl I’ve wanted to be a princess when I grow up”.

According to the Exeter Express and Echo, Emma has set up her own business entitled Once Upon A Time Parties London, where she will provide the entertainment for children’s parties by singing songs and playing music from Disney films.

“I just want to give these children amazing memories. I love all the Disney story lines and even at my age I am still in love with all the films” said Emma.

“I get a lot of funny looks from people but kids always come and say hello and wave at me. It’s adorable. I’m just such a happy person so I love making the children happy. It’s a form of escapism for me and the children genuinely believe I’m from a Disney film”.
