For future reference: SS NC HQ = Suicide Squad NightClub Harley Quinn, ok? Ok.
Hey Skwad!
So if you don’t know my next cosplay will be #nightclubharleyquinn! 🤩🥳 I bought this beauty off @theme.extreme (aka Kristy)'s Etsy to make my Rebel Harley even more screen-accurate!! I bought most of my nightclub Harls jewellery off her as well and I can hand-on-heart vouch for Kristy, she is amazing!
The time, effort and care she puts into each item she sells in her shop, not to mention that which she puts into simply wrapping and protecting each item, is unbelievable. The level of detail and extensive research Kristy puts in is actually impeccable! Her capability to zoom in and pause every behind-the-scenes photo leaked, every frame of a scene, etc and recreate it to the best of her ability for a completely affordable and fair price is beyond commendable and as such, her efforts and her service to the #clubharleyquinn #cosplay community are fully worth promoting in my humble opinion.
Just compare Kristy's jewellery (see below) to the cheap high street shop jewellery I bought to begin with when I began this cosplay back in January which I believe I bought from Dorothy Perkins before they went under!
Also worth noting, I received this necklace from @thenoblecollection at @merchoid last Christmas which is so screen-accurate and merch official! I'm so happy with this "Harley Loves Joker" necklace, I'm honestly absolutely thrilled! I'm literally just jumping up and down from how pretty it is! Now, back to Kristy!

My experience with Kristy
So initially, in January I bought the upper arm bracelet, wrist bracelet, Puddin Choker heart lock and key and the starburst, diamond, and double-link ring. I actually bought 2 of the Starburst rings so I could give one as a gift for my mother, as the Starburst style was very popular in the 1950s, a period style-wise we both adore. Kristy's very sweet in that she always sends lots of added extras, stickers, discount codes and pretty boxes to keep the jewellery in. She also gifted me a few pieces FOR FREE. These included the #classicharleyquinn choker and earring as well as a pair of Suicide Squad Harley-inspired baseball bat earrings. She did not have to do this at all, it was completely unexpected and entirely sweet of her.
My photos from January!!
At first I paired what jewerally I had with a plain white shirt, before I realise how similar my old prom dress was to Harley's dress in this scene - let me know which of these images you prefer!
Kristy also sent me the #nightclubharley earrings for my 18th birthday, once again this was completely out of the blue, and I'm so incredibly thankful for all her support with this cosplay! I really didn't expect anything from my cosplay friends so that really made my day! She also sent me a really lovely letter, which I instantly knew was from her as she has such a distinctive way of packaging and I really wish I could keep the packaging as it's so adorable.
I absolutely ADORE her work so I just had to order the rest her stuff on Etsy earlier this month (like seriously someone please take my purse off me I’m spending so much on cosplay recently 😅)! And then came a big parcel from Kristy containing the upper arm watches, the wrist and palm bracelets as well as another ring.

I just want to clarify again here that some of the things I have paid for, whilst others have been gifted. The watches are all numbered which is brilliant for getting ready in a hurry and not needing to pull out a reference photo to remember the order! With regards to screen accuracy, Kristy has gone to the effort of working out the brand of each watch, where each individual diamond goes, all the little knobs and dials, the clasp and buckles, etc. They're absolutely stunning. Whilst the watches can be set to a different time, I don't think they can be used as actual time-telling devices, and most likely would not be an appropriate size to be a wristwatch. Each watch has a completely different time, from which we can infer the time of each murdered victim Harley has stolen watches from (so y'know, that's fun, I guess). In terms of sizing, they fit great, the bottom watch is stretchy to fit tight to your arm, so even if the middle and upper watches are too big (as they are a set size with a clasp) they won't fall down your arm.
Thank you so much to Kristy for all your A-MAZ-ING products (I’m honestly ~this~ close👌 to buying your entire Etsy shop 😂)! I just had to write a little bit of an appreciation post to the person who inspired this cosplay! 😉💓 If you guys want to check her out as she’s also an awesome #cosplayer and I'm sure she wouldn't mind an extra follow, her instagram is @theme.extreme and @fortheloveofharley! ☺️💗
