An unexpected guest made an appearance at this year's Dragon Con in Atlanta,Watch Ozark Season 1 Online Georgia.
During a photoshoot for the Black Geeks of Dragon Con, Jennifer Schulte aka BBQ Becky attempted to crash the party. Thankfully, it wasn't the real Schulte, but rather a woman who goes by Tazra Rose, that bore an uncanny resemblance to the infamous figure.
The real show is going on behind her, though, as a bunch of incredible black cosplayers side-eye her to oblivion.

"Honestly I'm surprised that it has taken on a life of its own," Casey wrote in a Facebook message. "I like the response where Kilmonger is giving her the evil stare."
Initially, Casey explained that this was not planned at all, and he was mainly focusing on taking group shots for the cosplay community to share. According to Casey, when several of the cosplayers saw Rose near the area, they encouraged her to join in and pose.
"This incident did not ruin the festive mood during the shoot," Casey wrote. "Instead everyone got a huge laugh out of this. For that I am glad."
However, in a recent interview with Big Shiny Robot, Rose explained that it was a friend's idea for her to go to the photoshoot dressed as BBQ Becky. Her friend had had gotten permission from the Black Geeks of Dragon Con to have Rose show up to the event in her BBQ gear, and they waited off to the side until it was ok for her to step in.
"We waited until the shoot was well underway before we went out there," Rose said. "At first, I stood off to the side with my jacket zipped up and the phone already to my ear. Once people noticed I was there, people were laughing and cheering and clapping. Everyone seemed to immediately get the joke."
A large majority of the comments on the photo on Facebook have been positive, and many users are heralding it as "the best Dragon Con 2018 photo" ever. Tweets with the image have also began to trickle into Twitter as well.

While the photo itself has amused people, Casey does recognize the bigger issue -- the harsh reality that black Americans face on a constant basis.
"Unfortunately outside of Dragon Con this will eventually happen again minus the laughs," Casey admitted.
To everyone's relief, there were zero actual Permit Patty's or BBQ Becky's lurking around, trying to find a minuscule reason to call the cops. And based off this photo alone, it's safe to say everyone absolutely killed their cosplays.
"I honestly never meant to take any attention from the cosplayers at the photo shoot," Rose told Big Shiny Robot. "They deserve the spotlight much more than I do. I hope the picture going viral draw attention to the need for more representation for people of color in the cosplay and geek communities."
We can all take a costume design lesson from this group.
