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! "

Josh Finney:
You ARE truly Harley!

José Mendez:
I've been in the entertainment industry for quite some time and I can easily say that I've never witnessed an entertainer (Elise is way beyond Cosplay. no offense.) embody the spirit of any character the way Elise has as Harley Quinn. Every facial expression, every stance truly brings Harley Quinn to life. Her performance is absolutely organic. You will never think of Harley Quinn as a two-dimensional character once you have seen a photo or experienced her in-person.

Stewart McKenny:
It’s hard to add anything to all the excellent comments that have already been made. But I will say: there are some poeple who wear costumes, some people who take a step further and create a character... and then there is Elise, who truly IS Harley Quinn!

Comments on me Live in Person at Cons:

Holly Hocks:
Everytime I go to a convention with you, you just make it. Regardless of how busy the con is, how tired you are or how grumpy anyone else is, you seem to bring out the best in everyone present, embodying the spirit of friendliness, love and joy. You are such a wonderful person to be around in a con, simply because of how gracious and thoughtful you... See more are. AND YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF HARLEY QUINN. Even my mother says you are amazing. Yup. 
ANYWAY you are spectacular but best of all you share your glowing bright happy love and energy with everyone in the room, and THAT is why you are so special and wonderful. ?!

Edon Polley:
You're not only a great cosplayer, you're incredibly supportive to others who are just getting into it. You never put people down and don't let others be put down either.
The fact that you're so outgoing and such an icon that if you don't know most everyone in the room you soon will is also pretty cool.
Harley Quinn, bringing geeks together in Australia for years and now moving on to bigger fish lol

Steven Hosking:
I saw you earlier today at supanova and must say you are an amazing Harley...was very awe inspired by your presence, props and overall talent...long been a joker fan myself I know when someone recreates a character of such calibre and your abilities and nature suit so beautifully...I know that you must get that alot but I thought I would share my thoughts on your abilities as I feel telling you that you are quite amazing is necessary.

Danielle Sheeba:
You do such a good job of harley quinn! you even have the personality down pat, i love it. you make the character come to life :)

Chantelle Gymer 
You are so in character it's obscene.

Kat906 
XD I'm convinced you really are Harley and you're just pretending to be a cosplayer.

Peter Ra
As a serious comic collector, I cannot believe how close you are, to the character. Health and success.Peter. 

Gary Lewallen
Hello! Your Harley is phenomenal. Costume is great, presentation is exceptional. You are Harley Quinn!! 

Luke Wright
I wanted to hereby nominate you for Ambassador of Supanova !! It wouldn't have been half the event it was without you there. And while 
others dressed up and paraded for us, you were just being Harley, pure and simple. I wish that others were as able to capture the spirit 
of thier characters as completely as you do.
Please keep us informed as to how your travels fare, because I am sure your fans would race ahead of you shoving obstacles out of your way if you needed it. Personally I think you should be sponsered to go to these events just to show others how it's meant to be done. Just wondering how to word the petition... 

phantomsluva
I've always said that Princess Bee is Harley Quinn incarnate, but I didn't realize just how DAMN good you are at being Harley, by the way you interact with people, every mannerism is just spot on and heighten to? a new level of awesome. 
To put it simply.
YOU ROCK! 

spandxslt
All of your pics are absolutely stunning, but to see and hear you in action takes my breath away. I have seen many others don the costume but they rarely, if ever, bring the personality along with it. I only wish I had a sufficient vocabulary to give you the praise you truly deserve; not only for your enviable confidence and showmanship, but also for the undeniable joy these traits of yours obviously bring out in the people lucky enough to experience your presence in person. 

Even though you are halfway across the world, the affection I feel for your interpretation of our favorite Daffy? Dame could easily fill 
that distance. We will likely never meet in person, but as long as I know you are out there doing what you do, there will always be a 
smile on my face that even Smilex couldn't make. 

General Comments:

TheJokerHa:
You look so perfectly Harley, you really do. Not just a pretty sexy girl in a Harley cosplay, you got her spirit and looks too.

Holly Messinger:
"...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!"

Jack Houck:
You are the best Harley Quinn I have ever seen, and I've been going to SDCC for twenty years!

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."

SnomanX:
I've always been intrigued by the concept of cosplay, but your Harley Quinn is just out of this world. You really take it to the next level.

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!"

xHathawayx 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 title of connoisseur or enthusiast!"

HystericFreak:
"PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!"

SaiDestroyer:
"You're the best harley cosplayer i've seen."

"I can't believe it! YOU are Harley Quinn! It's like releasing a Megadeth album and not sending Dave Mustaine a copy!"

"you have that... thing... you can pull cute and sexy at the same time! it's just awesome"

Oreopata:
Throught he years I have seen THOUSANDS of HQ cosplays but you, withou a shred of doubt are THE BEST. 100% perfection!

pumpmonger:
You do capture that wickedness but sweetness that is mixed in the sexy Harley.

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 of the biggest fan!"

ai-neja:
"You're the best Harley csplay I've seen so far!"

harleyquinnx:
"I think of you as the official Queen of Quinn!"

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 (:"

Emily Ennis:
"Love to the Queen of Quinn!"

AkurinHakumei:
"Keep being amazing, not that you even have to try! <3"

Max Skelton:
"This is just way too impressive, your dedication to the character is amazing... and kinda hot!"

Elena Fried:
"You breath life into all of your work! I'm serious when I say that: You are equal in bringing out the essence of Harley's character as Heath Ledger did with The Joker."

Sam Peel:
"You bring out every aspect of Harley's character with little details!"

Willow Skylor:
[You are] a spetacular entertainer and Bruce Timm would be proud to have such a great person act his creation out 

Kimberly Lopez: 
…;Love your dedication and a lot of us have been inspired by your work. Your visions for your photo shoots are amazing and you take Harley Quinn as your own and make her come alive in every way. Meeting you and being able to talk to you would be a dream come true for lots of us. ? ? ? And you are very beautiful and anyone who doesn't put you in a documentary as Harls is dumb XP

Negu:
Your an inspiration to any Harley Quinn fan. You are an amazing cosplayer, bringing the character to life. You're easily one of my favorite cosplayers. Best luck to you, harle! ?

Nacho Meza:
In my opinion you are the best I have ever seen at being Harley out of the comic book world! You are an inspiration to my 13yr old daughter and myself. 

Kevin 'Smiley' Baird:
You are indicative of everything that's 'right' with modern-day fandom. Not only are you fueled by an instrinsic interest in Harley Quinn/The Joker, your enjoyment and fascination also drive you to engage in an intellectual pursuit, of sorts, so that you may achieve a better understanding of the characters and their underlying motivations. 

Warren Telley:
Elise is as passionate about cosplaying as she is about life itself, to me Elise is truely an amazing person and i'm proud to know her.

Rhiannon Raphael:
Your websites, particularly jokerxharley.com, are such an incredible resource for people who are just getting introduced to the fandom. Your understanding of the two characters is so intelligent, intricate and fascinating that I'm sure you’ve converted more than a couple of fledgling fans on wow factor alone. However what keeps them by your side is your personality, your dedication to your fandom and the truly inspirational amount of love that you pour into everything that you do for the fandom. The sheer number of people who would count themselves as one of your fans, in particular all the people who commented on this serve as testimony to that. And thus you serve the Clown Prince by gathering to him an ever-increasing army of loyal minions. :D

Ellie Harley Weaver: 
Elise aka Harley is absolutely wonderful cosplayer who is both dedicated and true to her role at all times, even when out of costume. She shows other cosplayers what it means to stay true to her character, cosplaying as Harley for many years. She brings a smile, and maybe a coupla bombs, to the show and is a pleasure to cosplay with. :D

Willow Skylor:
You have inspired many of us to do our best at these comic cons. You seem like a great woman to hang out with, you make people laugh, and you so kind to others. 

Your donation of your prize to the kids was so sweet, why wouldn't they want you in the documentary? 

Michael Brady:
There is an unfortunate stereotype about fandom, and it's not exclusive to gender. But the ideas that we are not the most attractive, or even the most socially adept folks are ones we're still trying to shake off. I would want to meet Elise at a con because she breaks those stereotypes without a backwards glance. Just as we all should do, with all similar cliches. Also, I'm convinced that our combined awesome could combat any evil, but I don't have any empirical evidence for that.

Nina Wood: 
You have a raw honest love and dedication to the character. You expand her history and future in new and creative ways and emulate her next to perfectly if not dead on. You are dedicated and humble to those who love and admire you and your work and you contribute so many sights and stories and fun to the fan base. I'd type more but only one of my hands is working! You inspire me, thats plain as it gets!

Michael Miller:
Good Lord..Beyond Harley..You're past the idea of just playing the character..YOU ARE HER

ScannerJOE:
All of your cosplays are very good jobs. I love the way you're so devoted to your character. 
I think you born for the role. 

Adam Shippee:
As I live and breathe, the real life Harley Quinn.... Elise Archer is without a doubt Harley Quinn!!!!
I just find it amazing how much you look like her. it seems to me the comic was inspired by you... the model for Harley Quinn. You are amazing, my hats off to you.

Ashley Haag:
OMGUS! fucking *SQUEE!* You've got it perfect, no doubt!"

David Terres:
"Gorgeous! Adam Hughes would be proud."

Stephanie Gooch:
"You are my role model for Cosplaying! One day I hope to get in character as easily as you! LOVE YA!"

Nick Brotherton:
"You are an amazing lady x"

SweetLemonGirl:
"I have to say this the best Harley Quinn I've seen, you're practically perfect (all you need is a crazy clown man and a pair of hyenas)."

3m0g33k:
"I love this. You look amazing as Harley Quinn! The cork gun is perfect, as is your mask. I honestly don't think you need to improve anything; you're amazing!"

Stephani Lloth Wolbers:
"Squee! You're such an amazing Harley! The cartoon has come to life!"

Anna Hunter:

Thomas Isao Morinaka:
"You're the bomb!"

Warren Telley:
"I think your fan-freaken-tastic!"

AnariaZar-Rel:
"Amazing Harley costume, I love to see the costume done properly. And I love your gun! "

Ciameth:
"Such amazing costume!  And you look just like Harley! If you had been at the San Diego Comic Con (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:
"I swear, woman...

you ARE Harley Quinn.

And I want that Popgun."

live-insane:
"Oh dear, the costume is perfect and you're absolutely gorgeous! you've really outdone yourself. (:"

"You are my hero."

Dumbodoor:
"Wow, this is quite impressive. I have never seen a person who devoted her life on one unique character, Harley Quinn... Hoo boy you would be the perfect imitation of Harley Quinn! ...You would make a wonderful actress in the next live action Batman movie."

StrayMinK:
"You're a great Harley Quinn cosplayer! I love how your costumes all look very high quality and how much attention you pay to details."

It's like you actually DID step off the page. 

Fantastic job. ^^"

Digital-zin:
"I got to say if they ever do another Batman film that requires a Harley Quinn in it that you've got my vote."

AliceMalice01:
"You are absolutely an excellent Harley! In your alternate costumes as well you really do a good job of capturing the character."

Neji355:
"I must say you pull off Harley better than most anyone else I have seen. Great job! ^^"

FaytComix:
"I'm going to have to call you Harley Quinn the real life version. You play her so well I have no problem accepting that you are her, lol."

ElvenRanger3:
"Ya make the perfect Harley Quinn! If DC ever adds Harley to there Christian Bale series, ya need to audtion. I'd imagine they'd hire ya on the spot!!"

DamnedSpot:
"I'm in so much awe of your dedication and attention to detail in your costumes and cosplays!"
