Reign XX

Emperor XX

The Black Panther Empreror

Diane DeHerrera

Empress XX 

Stephanie Starr

The Galaxy Sapphire Empress

When You Wish Upon A Star is the appropriate description of the election of the twentieth monarchs of the Imperial Court, Empress XX Stephanie Starr and Emperor XX Diane DeHerrera. Diane was the first female elected to the title of Emperor, thus bringing the unification efforts of the court to its pinnacle. With Stephanie added as Empress, we again had vibrant energy coupled with determination. The Twentieth Court was goal orientated, organized and traveled a steady and determined path to its completion. It was during this year that Emperor Diane and Emperor Gregg Looker began their work to reestablish the White Rose Scholarship Fund; a project that Diane has worked tirelessly on ever since. The overall involvement of the total community evolved during this year and we saw a lot of new blood and energy injected into the Court system in Denver.

The beginning of the reign was celebrated with PR Ball at the Executive Tower Inn. Snow Ball was held at the Regency with a Russian Theme; and King of Hearts at the Regency as well, to set the tone for the next reign.

Both monarchs had capable lines of successions to help them along. The Empress had Rosa Marie Sugarbaker as Princess Royale; Queen Mother, Nina Montaldo; Grand Duchess, Crystal Fairchild; Czarina Alyssa Del Rey; and Marquessa, Sydney Andrews. The Emperor had Bill Wright as Prince Royale; Grand Duke, Mark Kassel; and Czar, Lee Doudney. Diane awarded her permanent title to Mary Martinez, an outstanding Court member.

The culmination of the Twentieth Reign cha-cha'd with Carnival in Rio, a grand night of resplendent beauty and color, and thus made way for the Twenty First reign.
