| I
have received some beautiful, touching and humbling feedback from fellow
Harley Quinn and cosplay fans around the world. Here I share them with
you!
Thanks to everyone who
has been kind enough to give me feedback - it's always
welcome!
I cosplay primarily for
myself, because I love bringing Harley to life. But to know that this crazy,
self-indulgent hobby is enjoyed by others as well is enormously delighting
and inspiring. Especially when other Harley Quinn fans are kind and
generous enough to support me so whole-heartedly - it's a really amazing
feeling. I don't think I can express enough how grateful I am to anyone
who takes time to drop me a kind word about my cosplay efforts.
I am deeply honoured
by the sheer effusiveness of some of the feedback I receive - and I thank
you all from the bottom of my daffy little heart! Your lovely words make
a huge difference to my day! <3

"Just
so you know, in case you didn't already, you are Harley come to life. I've
drawn Harley before, for free, and you have all the physical characteristics
and attitudes of the Bruce Timm character."
Kat
Rocha:
"I
LOVE your picures!! You are perfect as Harley, and the most original one
I have ever seen too. I love all the ideas you have for diffrent things
she'd do."
Christopher
Jones:
"Your
Harley costume is fabulous. I'm quite picky about the costume, the "jester
ears," the collar, the wrist ruffles are often not done in a way I like,
but your outfit is just perfect, and you have the right look to wear it,
too! I know a lot of leotards and catsuits tend to smooth out and round
off the body shape underneath. You don't seem to be having that problem,
but don't look corseted either.
You
capture the nicest blend of sexy and... well... clownish! "

"...Ebee's so beautiful
and so full of joie de vivre, I feel like I'm dressing a rock star."
"Ebee found me at a good
time in my career--experienced but not yet famous. She may *make* me famous,
at this rate!"
Cthu:
"You ARE the real life
Harley Quinn! No contest."
"Dang, you even have that
"Harley Quinn smile". Your lips, teeth, and cheeks look exactly like Harley's
when she smiles when the best artists draw her.
Was she modeled after
you or something? (I know she wasn't but you look exactly like her. Or
she looks like you.)
Arleen may be the voice
of Harley but you have her looks. If she is in the next Nolan-verse Batman
film you should play her. Get someone from DCs attention at a convention
and I honestly think you have a good chance at landing a the part of Miss
Quinn."
"When artists draw Harley
I just think you two look remarkably alike You both have the same kind
of facial features and even a similar body shape. It is like you were born
to play her someday."
Blunty3000:
"You were Harley? :D
Are you single? I don't care, marry me? :P heh, you were fantastic, the
voice was spot on and you looked terrific."
xHathawayx:
"Your dedication overall
is just amazing. And I hate to say it but you are fast surpassing a more
'Public' Harley cosplayer as my favourite Harley cosplayer <3
The fact you do this more
for yourself immediately adds even more points to your wonderfulness. I
think a small part of the reason I enjoy your cosplay so much is probably
because I know it's not a flash in the pan thing with you. Your site alone
shows how dedicated you are to Harley and how long. I mean, already you
can see the amount of Harley cosplayers out there are already waning which
is a bit depressing. But there's still you who puts so much effort into
everything that it gives me something to look forward to."
"Since I've been having
so much trouble finding the actress I want to model Harley on when I start
drawing realistically, I kind of chose you. I'm really picky so noone else
seemed to really fit the part!"
"There's not an aspect
of Harley cosplay you're leaving untouched - I love it!"

on the
giftart she presented to me.
"~princessebee is so
charming and so beautiful that I had to give her a tip of my hat in the
form of some giftart. "
LadyMortiana:
"Aww, you're in the strict
group of people whom I adore with all my heart: you bring one of my favourite
characters ever to life and you're doing it in so fantastic way."
"For a fan, nothing more
brings you such pleasure than an appreciation of your opinion to the artist
and that you're comment meant something for other person.
Maybe there's something
- your actual amazing work and as I said - bringing Harley to life from
the comic pages/cartoon actions etc.
Your effort and devotion
just makes me so happy. I am more than happy to know such amazing person
as you are and also so devoted Harley fan.
Just my dream: to meet
ya' someday on a con of something... Actually, my dream is to visit Australia
someday so.. who knows? Maybe I will meet the one and only Queen of Quinn
one day?"
"I just... feel Harley.
Don't even know how to express it because you're an amazing Harley cosplayer
and every single piece of your work just screams with Harley's awesomesauce..."
itllcometome:
" You're the antithesis
of dork, you've turned your fan love into performance pieces. Earned the

JonWilksBeyond:
"You look Amazing! You
ARE Harley Quinn!"
Zam-Bam:
"Outstanding! Out of
every Harley Quin I've seen you are the best by far. From your body type
to all the little facial expressions you make."
Simon:
"I found your profile
on DeviantArt and was completely wowed by your commitment to Harley.
I LOVE your passion! As an artist - I want to know about the people
behind the costumes...to understand what it is about them and they relate
to in the characters they costume. But you - you're a whole new level.
You ARE the character...and I love it."
circusgirl17:
"You are by far the definition

batty9999:
"You? I have to tell
you if you look like Harley? You don't look like Harley! YOU ARE
HARLEY, DAMN IT! And, obviously from the reactions you got today, you are
to so many others too. You are the best (I am so gunna get killed by my
Harley for that) and you are that for so many others too."
CelestiallyEccentric:
"Your dedication is beyond
inspiring! "
laurencortez14:
"You're better than anyone!
If there was a Joker, you would be the Harley. Fact... You're such a great
person and I love the way you are. You write good, you're beautiful, and
you are smart. I can't help but be a fan of you."
"You're so pretty! Muy
bonita! I love it. You look like Harley Quinn."
"It's like 'Mad Love'
in real life! You're the perfet Harley and you need the perfect Joker!"
"I really like this shot!
I think if Bruce Timm and Paul Dini saw these they would be very impressed!I
can't believe you made Harleen so REAL!"
"You really do look like
Harley Quinn. I think you both have that cutish, perky, innocent girl next
door look, but then you can look very sexy and desirable too."
live-insane:
"Your cosplays are always
too awesome for words! Your expression is the cutest (:"

(that's the one I always go to, since I'm lucky enough to be SD native)
I definitely would have asked to take your picture--that's how wonderful
your costume is!"
Anna
Hunter:
"I'm a big fan of your
blogs (lovedatjoker, clownyprincess) and your deviant art page. I think
you're the best writer in the Joker/Harley fandom (an opinion shared by
many, I'm sure,) and I love the cosplay updates! You contribute so much
to the Joker/Harley fandom. You've inspired me to go all the way - I want
to go on the convention pilgrimages to meet other geeks in real life! I
really admire your intelligence and your sincerity, and this is going to
sound really creepy, but I think you're really beautiful, and beautiful
people who can geek out are a beautiful thing. Thank you so much for everything
you do for the fandom! You make a lot of people very happy. "
Ari2266:
