Reign X

Empress X 

Brandy Dennison

The Diamond Butterfly Empress

Emperor X 

Roger Dent

The Bronze Bull Emperor

The tenth reign was a time for getting back to the basics and the city found two willing partners in the election of Emperor and Empress X, Roger Dent and Brandy Dennison. Both Roger and Brandy had been involved with the court system for several years before their elections and neither had any delusions about the job they had chosen to take on.  This year proved very productive in the number of fundraisers that the tenth Reign held. Roger and Brandy were constantly on the move about the city either with each other or on opposite sides of the city covering as much ground and as many functions as they could. The ICRME Empire also was able to benefit from their reign with the number of out of town functions these two were able to attend. With their gracious manner and easygoing attitudes, Colorados Court system was definitely well represented.

The PR Ball held that year was neat and to the point, The Prince and Princess Royalty Ball held at Rossis helped to get the tenth Reign on its way. Equally as direct was Snowball 82, again, held at Rossis. The King of Hearts Ball went western during this year and featured an outstanding show.

The tenth Emperor and Empress were ably supported by their respective lines of successions. For Brandy, this consisted of Princess Royale, Dena Lee (who resigned before the year came to a close); Queen Mother (for Life) Pearl DeVere; Grand Duchess, Roxie LaMont; Czarina, Geri Drieling; and Marquessa, Mona Del Ray. Roger was aided during his reign by, Prince Royale Carl Hundall; King Father (for Life), Dave (Boom Boom) Lorette; Grand Duke, Bill Hall; Czar, Phil Ehrenhard; Marquis, Jerry Drieling; and Don Shelly Bouchard.

It was difficult for these monarchs to choose their permanent titles, but in the end, both permanent titles were awarded to members of their lines of succession. Brandy selected Geri Drieling as Diamond Butterfly Princess to Empress X for Life and Roger named Bill Hall as Grand Duke to Emperor X for Life.

The end of the 10th Reign went Tropical! An Elegant Evening in the Tropics held at the Radison Hotel was an explosion of color and lighting. The tenth reign came to its close and the sun rose up on the eleventh.
