Cosplay Friday: painted Harley Quinn

And everyone thought the Suicide Squad Harley Quinn was bad…

I choose to believe this is how Harley actually looks under the tights.

This lovely young lady gives us Harley’s classic costume… done completely in body paint. Of course, we have some clever positioning to keep this one in PG-13 territory.

If you don’t know who Harley Quinn is, perhaps you should not be on a superhero blog, but just in case:

Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel) was first introduced as a villain on September 11, 1992, in the animated series Batman: The Animated Series, later adapted into DC Comics’ Batman comic books. As suggested by her name (a play on the word “harlequin”), she is clad in the manner of a traditional harlequin jester. The character is a frequent accomplice and the girlfriend of Batman’s nemesis the Joker, and is also close to Poison Ivy, from whom she gained her immunity to poisons and toxins, as well as her advanced physical abilities.

The character was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm and was originally voiced by Arleen Sorkin in Batman: The Animated Series and its tie-ins. The character was portrayed by Hynden Walch on The Batman television series. In the Birds of Prey series, she was portrayed by actress Mia Sara, and by Sherilyn Fenn in the pilot episode. Throughout her portrayals, she is shown to speak with a pronounced Brooklyn accent.

The new Metahuman Press

As a part of bringing the Metahuman Press suite of sites together, we now have a new Metahuman Press home page!

This design should look familiar to SPF followers....

That site will now serve as the News center for updates on the MHP family of sites. It will also hold a complete list of submission guidelines for the open anthologies and for potential book publishing as MHP moves in to full print mode in 2012. Readers can already find the first three anthologies up and running right now and ready for submissions: Heroes of Mars and Modern Pulp Heroes from Pulp Empire and the first volume of The Dead Walk Again. We also have several more novels and anthologies planned for 2012, so stay tuned for details on those in the weeks ahead!
