Reign II

Emperor II

The Legend of the Double Headed Eagle

Richard "Bucky" Reed

Empress II

Isis of Love, The Burgandy Empress

The Court continued to grow and better represent Colorado under the able leadership of the Emperor and Empress II. During the second reign there was still room for many firsts. Emperor and Empress II were indeed the true powers of the thrones during this reign. Scotti was the first candidate to use buttons and t-shirts during her campaign. Bucky was the first Monarch to hold a function to raise money for the newly established Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Colorado. They were the first to take a political stance and aided the Gay Community in stopping  excessive police harassment over jaywalking tickets to patrons of The Broadway.

These monarchs are also the first elected monarchs in the Empire, with fifty per cent of the election being composed of a judges panel and the remaining fifty per cent coming from an election by popular vote of the Coronation attendees. Denver was also welcomed into the International Court System and truly recognized as a new court with the attendance of Jose I of San Francisco at Scotti's and Bucky's stepping down.

The line of succession also became and integral part of the Court. Billie Cassandra, first runner-up for Empress, became Princess Royale; with Lola as Queen Mother; Christi Layne as Grand Duchess; Desiree as Czarina and Causha Lee Victoria as Marquessa (a title created and added to the line of succession along with Marquis by Bucky). Bucky also saw the wisdom of male line of succession. Debbie Youngman, first runner-up for Emperor, became Prince Royale being replaced by Gary Korf at his stepping down and then Kenny McDonald at Causha and Shel's stepping down. Pat was Grand Duke, with Louis (Louise) as Czar, and Rose as Marquis.

Scotti and Bucky awarded a permanent title to someone they felt had been  special during their reign, and also deserved special merit from the city and so Ms. Vivian Soloman was awarded the permanent title, Guardian Angel of the Court for Life.

Three other functions took hold and began to be part of the ICRME calendar. The first was the PR Ball with the theme of the Hookers and Hustlers Ball held above the now demolished Court Jester. Then followed the Empress's Snowball with its theme: Toys for Tots. Finally was the Emperor's King of Hearts Ball with the theme, An Old Fashioned Square Dance held at another legendary dance palace, The 1942. The end of Reign Two came with their stepping down theme of Colorado:  1776-2076 celebrating the bicentennial and opening the gates for the Third Reign.
