The problem with the Harley in SS was that she looked more like a prostitute with her attire. It would be at least understandable if that was her established costume in the comics, but it wasn't the case either. Dressed like a prostitute does not communicate that one is aiming to be funny as well. So it is a mixed message i.e. incoherent.

As for Harley looking like a harlequin, if she DID look like a harlequin, then the design would be coherent. Otherwise, one must concede that the design is incoherent.

Ok, maybe you thought she looked like a prostitute, but I didn't.

I think you're the only person on earth who didn't think she looked like a prostitute in SS, dude. 'Cause she totally did.
