Women who dress up as Harley Quinn get a lot of hate and are frequently assumed to be mindless trend followers. (Remember Halloween and Comic Con the year Suicide Squad came out?) But what people overlook is why women gravitate toward her. She’s the fantasy of a woman refusing to conform to social expectations and living to the fullest. She wears sparkles and dyes her hair fun colors, she beats up guys who harass her, she does whatever she wants and acts however she feels like without worrying over potential consequences. A lot of the time in pop culture, women who act like this, who delight in breaking our patriarchal society’s rules for them, get punished by the narrative, but Harley doesn’t. She’s beloved because she’s pure female escapism. In this essay I will—
Okay so I am a day late but would it even be my post if it wasn’t fashionably late lmao? 🤣 Can’t believe it’s already been 3 years since Birds of prey was released. Tbh this cosplay took me so long to put together because there is so many pieces to it and it was expensive but worth it. I am so proud of myself for finishing this fantabulous cosplay! Birds of prey is such a genius work of art and loved all of the girl power in it. The future is female and I know a ton of people will disagree but it was refreshing seeing Harley without the joker in this film. Yes I love joker and Harley but there is just something special about Harley realizing her own self worth and teaming up with other femme fatales. Also Ewan McGregor did fantastic as black mask and of course Margot Robbie nailed it! If you haven’t seen birds of prey yet and you’re a fan of dc comics and Harley Quinn like myself please check it out! This was such a fun photoshoot and big thanks to @jimbembenek for taking these pics and @area15official for letting us use their location for our photoshoot. Huge appreciation for @antoniobtwo also he did a wonderful job on my makeup and it was perfect! I always love bringing Harley Quinn to life! Plus little bit of fan service for my followers! Enjoy everyone and yes of course I still love Harley Quinn very much! She forever lives in my head rent free lol! ♦️
With all the hype surrounding the upcoming live-action Barbie movie featuring Margot Robbie as the titular doll, here's Australian cosplayer/Margot Robbie doppleganger Laura Gilbert as both Harley Quinn & Barbie.
I've had so much fun with the Roman Sionis cosplay. Not perfect, I know, but the outfit does make you feel like a fancy bastard. Click on the pic for better quality.
