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.)

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.

@mjgardner That's great. I haven't thought of Three's Company in decades. Glad to see that people of all generations can have fun with cosplay.
@mjgardner the only question I have is - why does Mrs. Roper on the front left have what looks like a very real fire axe?

@xinit “HEEEEERE'S HELEN!”

With her #OverlookHotel carpet-pattern #kaftan and axe, #DragonCon2023 #cosplayer Heather Miller mashed up #HelenRoper from #ThreesCompany and #StanleyKubrick's film adaptation of #StephenKing's “#TheShining.”

Fun triple-entendre:
• Stanley Kubrick directed “The Shining.”
• The story was inspired by King’s 1974 visit to the #StanleyHotel in #EstesPark, Colorado.
• And #MrsRoper’s long-suffering husband… was named Stanley.

@mjgardner I guess it's the gorilla on the basketball court ... didn't see the dress because I was staring at the axe :D
