My wife @jlweiss educated me that the #DrWho costume photo I posted is a #BeautyAndTheBeast mashup. Note that the #Cyberman is holding a rose and wearing a tailcoat. #Dalek #DragonCon #DragonCon2023 #cosplay

This Colin Robinson was delivering a long, boring speech detailing the history of Dragon Con to people during photos.
There were more than a few exchanges of Hi Barbie / Hi Nadja
@xinit With her Overlook Hotel carpet-pattern #kaftan and axe, #DragonCon2023 cosplayer Heather Miller was mashing up Helen Roper from #ThreesCompany and #StanleyKubrick's film adaptation of #StephenKing's “#TheShining.”
“HEEEEERE'S HELEN!”
Fun triple-entendre: Stanley Kubrick directed "The Shining." The story was inspired by King's 1974 visit to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, California. And Mrs. Roper's long-suffering husband was named Stanley.
My 10 yo did a bit of cosplay at #DragonCon and he was nervous about how his C3PO costume was going to be received. He said he thought it was too "janky" for the photoshoot we were headed to.
As we rounded the corner by the Courtland (nee Sheraton) one guy commented on how cool the costume looked. That helped buoy the kid.
When we arrived, the 501st were fist-bumping him, ribbons were offered.
So I just posted to say thanks.

Which kind of took off.
This was definitely the year of #Barbie at #DragonCon. The group #cosplay photo shoot last Friday was unbelievable. They ran out of space on the steps, moved and then ran out of space again! Some highlights include nearly every Barbie and #Ken seen in the movie including many glorious #WeirdBarbie costumes. Pictured here are #Gizmonic Barbie, #Mandalorian Barbie, #AntiFascist Barbie, #Wednesday, #StarTrek, #StarWars Barbies and more. #DragonCon2023 #AtlantaHilton #BarbieMovie #MST3K
After co-presenter Tony Gowell invited a hundred #kaftan-bedecked #MrsRoper cosplayers to storm the #DragonCon2023 #Masquerade stage, the ladies confused #millennials and #GenwrationZ alike as they strutted through the #Atlanta #Hyatt and #Marriott to their appointed #PhotoShoot outside the #Hilton.
#GinAndTonic from the #RegalBeagle was consumed and a sea of red wigs assembled on the steps.
Then things got weird.
9/3:
It's called #DragonCon, but it really should be called Pop Culture Con. Is there anywhere else that encourages and welcomes #TedLasso cosplay? #DragonCon2023 #365Project #Project365
Obscure #StarWars characters I spotted at #DragonCon over the weekend included a #DeathStar survivors support group, some soon-to-be-unemployed staff of the #GalacticStarcruiser #Halcyon and a pair of #Twilek Kalikori Cola #Barbie carhops! (Very appropriate for an #Atlanta convention) #cosplay #DragonCon2023 #BarbieMovie #CocaCola #CocaColaBarbie #CaptainKeevan #Saja #Andor
Use your imagination for #cosplay at #DragonCon - it doesn’t have to be a sci-fi or fantasy character! (Props and signs can be helpful too) #DragonCon2023 #HiltonAtlanta #OldFart #BadAdvice
#DrWho villains menace an apparently shrunken #TARDIS at #DragonCon over the weekend. #cosplay #DragonCon2023 #Dalek #Cybermen #SteamPunk
I am officially coining the collective noun “a #kaftan of Mrs. Ropers”
(PS: This was when the group was still gathering outside the Masquerade. The fully assembled kaftan was over 100 Helens strong.)
Following up on my earlier post about #StarTrek costumes at #DragonCon here are two big group photos. #StarTrekTOS at top and #StarTrekTNG and other 24th century shows at bottom. There were still others too! #cosplay #DragonCon2023
A selection of #mashup #cosplay at the group photo shoot today including M*A*S*H/Up, Man-Delorean, a quartet of Mandalorians, #Barbenheimer and #Wednesday and her roommate in one costume. #DragonCon #DragonCon2023 #ZiggyStardust #MASH #PixarUp #CaptainMarvel #Spiderman #BarbieMovie #Joker
#StarTrek costumes at #DragonCon come in many levels of complexity, from this vintage 1970s #Spock Halloween costume to an extremely elaborate #Borg and everything in between. #cosplay #DragonCon2023 #StarTrekTOS #StarTrekTNG
Two of several #BobRoss costumes I saw at #DragonCon yesterday - #Barbie Ross and Bob of War #cosplay #DragonCon2023 #BarbieMovie #GodOfWar
Is this what it looks like when you’re swallowed whole by a dragon? I’m thinking it is. Super pleased and impressed with this year’s turn out. Good job everyone!! #dragoncon #DragonCon2023
