Who is Elise Laurenne?

Born on 2 April 1996, in Toronto, Canada, under the bold and somewhat audacious sign of Aries, Elise Laurenne is a 27-year-old Canadian cosplay artist, model, gamer, social media personality,  news anchor,  and streamer. She achieved fame through her cosplays, regarded as astonishingly realistic, in which she dressed as popular movie and game characters to perfection. In addition to her more “alternative” photo shoots, she also has experience in adult modeling, mostly in her early career. Her uncanny body modifications and creativity have caused her to become one of the most sought-after alternative models in the world.

Early Life and Education

Elise was born into a Canadian family, in the largest city in the country. She is an only child, otherwise, we don’t have access to any information about Elise’s early life, nor about her parents. Even though she is a celebrity, it was never her goal to expose herself and share more about her private life than she was required to. This is a clear sign that she is devoted to her career and that she has no intention of letting anything interfere with her plans. However, we do know how Elise found her true calling in life.

First Contact With Cosplay

When she was just five years old, Elise had her first contact with cosplay when she went to a costume party organized by another kid from her kindergarten class. Despite being too young to understand the full meaning and culture behind cosplay, Elise immediately fell in love with dressing up as fictional characters, which ended up defining her later on. As time went on, she started watching cartoons and superhero movies more often, which resulted in her getting fully immersed in the world of cosplay. When she turned 12, Elise made her official cosplay debut, dressing up as one of the characters from Elfen Lied, a famous Japanese Manga. By her own account, her grandmother taught her how to sew, which turned out to be a skill essential to her eventual fame.

What is Cosplay?

Cosplay, etymologically, is a portmanteau of the words “costume” and “play”. It’s an evolving trend, a performance art if you will, in which participants wear custom-made costumes and other accessories to resemble a fictional character as closely as possible. Even though people have been dressing up ever since the 8th century, costumes of fictional characters became a part of pop culture only in the 1980s and ‘90s, and Japan, the USA and Western Europe began hosting an increasing number of conventions dedicated to works of fiction. Thus, cosplay slowly started turning into a legitimate art. Incorporating elements of make-up artistry, design, optical illusions and much more, popular cosplayers like Elise became legitimate celebrities because of all the hard work they put into mimicking their favorite characters.

Early Career: Getting a Taste of Modeling

We don’t know much about Elise’s early career. By her own account, she started asking friends to shoot her for fun, wanting to see what modeling was really all about. An avid gym goer, Elise realized that she could venture far beyond cosplay and regular modeling, and soon after her first contact with modeling, she started doing nude photography. Despite the fact that this type of exposure is seen as controversial, Elise was never ashamed of her body and didn’t hesitate to show off her attributes. Even in her earlier photos, we can see the charisma and the pizzazz that made her so popular later on. Realizing that she could combine erotica and innocence, Elise found her niche in the modeling world and began promoting her work.

Continued Success: Naked Girls

Elise joined “Naked News” as a part-time anchor at some point in time. This online show, founded by Kirby Stasyna and Fernando Pereira in Toronto back in 1999, boasts an all-female cast, but with a distinct twist—they’re all nude! The core concept behind “Naked News” is to celebrate the beauty of the female form while fostering a positive outlook on nudity and its historical context. Elise predominantly covers internet and pop culture topics, occasionally participating in photoshoots, such as the collaboration she had with Bruce Colero, a renowned artist specializing in nude photography. Additionally, she took on the role of anchor for “Naked in the Streets,” a unique segment of “Naked News” where reporters conduct topless interviews with passers-by on various subjects. With her tattoos, distinctive charisma, and articulate delivery, Elise has become an integral part of the show’s lineup, regularly featuring in segments and other content produced by “Naked News.”

Rising to Prominence: A Master at Cosplaying

Given the fact that Elise adored Marvel superheroes (and villains), as well as anime and manga characters, she had no shortage of inspiration. Using the sewing skills bestowed upon her by her grandmother, she began recreating some of the most iconic costumes from the world of fiction. In her career, Elise dressed up as Carnage from Spiderman, a night elf from the World of Warcraft, Melisandre from Game of Thrones, Venom and much more. By analyzing her cosplay portfolio, it’s safe to conclude that Elise enjoys international fame because she knows how to strike a balance between current trends in pop culture and nostalgic elements that her fans would appreciate. Her costume inspirations range from the latest Game of Thrones scenes, all the way to forgotten manga characters from the 1980s.

Creating Her Own Characters: Anti-Gwenom

All of Elise’s costumes she created are based on knowledge and real recollection of the character she’s portraying. Just like other renowned cosplayers, Elise knows the background story behind her every costume, which allows her to be adept at playing the role she chooses. However, Elise has done something almost no cosplayer in the world managed to do – she created a completely new character. For her masterpiece, entitled Anti-Gwenom, she fused two familiar faces from the Spiderman universe – Gwen Stacy and everyone’s favorite bad guy, Venom. Combined with her fit body and amazing knowledge of make-up, it’s hard to believe pictures of the costume aren’t a product of Photoshop.

Other Ventures: Suicide Girls

Elise has been a longstanding model for Suicide Girls, a well-known website and brand focused on pin-up photography, light erotica, and alternative modeling. Since 2015, she has been a prominent member, regularly sharing a plethora of fresh cosplays and provocative photos under the pseudonym “Ellie Suicide.” Beyond modeling, Elise actively engages with the community by organizing parties and various events alongside other Suicide Girls models. The majority of her content is exclusively accessible to Suicide Girls members, who can obtain membership through purchase.

As of mid-2019, she is probably single and focused on her career.

Elise is 5ft 5in (160cm) tall and weighs approximately 132 lbs (60kgs), her vital statistics are 33-24-35, with her bra size being 34D. As for body modifications, Elise has a large number of tattoos, highlighted by a gorgeous half-sleeve on her left arm, consisting of geometrical shapes and what seems to be a mandala, an ancient Hindu and Buddhist symbol. She also has stretched lower earlobes, with large plastic insertions in both her ears. As of June 2019, she has piercings on her nipples, septum and belly button.
