Empress XL Lushus La’Rell

An Anniversary year of Innovation, Celebration and Remembrance. Chase and Lushus went into the year with ferocity and finesse. The year was filled with goals and dreams as well as endeavors not yet seen in The Imperial Court. Hot off the heels of Reign 39 and the scramble for venues in which to cater to shows and fundraising, the resilient duo had their work cut out for them. The first goal was a rule - NO DRAMA, the second was HAVE FUN and the third was MAKE HISTORY. Taking on a new concept of Adopt a Monarch being onset from the start, each of the Royal Family had adopted and partnered with a College of Monarch for the entire year, in order to learn the past and go forward to help form the future of this great organization. Chase and Lushus remained true to the crown through many hardships such as the 100 year flood taking out most of the Northern realm for over 2 weeks, the passing of The Absolute Empress 1 Mama Jose Sarria, Prince Royale 17 James Nash and Princess Royale 14 Raye Bobian, Emperor 24 Jeff Clark , Empress 30 Greta B. Quick, and Reign 40’s own Count Bryan McKay.

Into the reign we saw newer, bigger venues and successful events, partnered with new patrons and ideas. Mayor Michael Hancock was a huge supporter from the beginning as well as Governor John Hickenlooper. Investiture 40 “When you wish upon a star” was the beginning of the Fairytale themed year; a huge success at Hamburger Mary’s.  Following great fundraising events at Eden for “In the Garden of Eden” Touch of Class and the All Boys Show combined was bountiful in monies raised as well as the new “bottle raffle fiasco” where bars were not allowing liquor baskets for raffle/auction items. “Hansel and Gretel - Let them eat candy” Decades show would be the last appearance of Decade Empress 30 Greta B. Quick and a night to be remembered.

Snow Ball 40 “A Night of Fantasy and Seduction” at Tracks Nightclub is one for the history books. Harkening back on our history as a huge gala event reborn; a huge room filled with crystal and pillars and decadence, we saw a flashback of the Carousel Ball tradition “Masks of the Ball” with the winner being live auctioned on stage. The production numbers by the Emperor and Empress were that of modern vaudeville and burlesque. Absolut Vodka sponsoring the VIP tables and event were nothing short of the performances and dressed to the 9s crowd. When all was said and done, through monetary donations, raffle, door admission, table reservations and most of all product given to the charity of the evening Urban Peak - the evening raised over $20,000. A feat never matched in I.C.R.M.E. history.

Fast forward to another milestone, Prince and Princess Royale Ball “The Evil Princess and the Huntsman - a dark evening of fun and fantasy” was the beginning of "Coronation Forty Once Upon a Time" with a full story line that had an interactive magic mirror narrating throughout and eventually killing the Empress on stage! Beloved by all, Prince and Princess Royale 40 Richard Brendlinger and Gabriella But’zin gave commemorative pins to their guests of the packed ballroom and stepped down in style and with great success.

"Forty Once Upon a Time" weekend in full swing with new twists on the historical weekend left behind the bus tour of past and gave the “coach rides” one destination, the entire Hamburger Mary’s Complex for an 80’s Prom with food, fun, sound and memories of a Fairytale 80’s Prom! This was also open to the public as the entire weekend was a benefit for Rainbow Alley centers for youth. Coronation night was picked up where PR Ball had left off with the Empress being brought in by paul bearers in a glass casket being narrated again by the magic mirror and an opening production number by College of Cardinal members. The night was full of surprises and out of town royalty from far and wide. Set inside Palais de 40 and ready to usher in a new era, one of the biggest surprises of the evening was when Mayor John Hickenlooper joining their mosts on stage spoke to the masses and the second surprise was during crowning when the College of Monarchs parted down the middle on stage to reveal the new monarchs and Reign 40  “Let it Go”. Chase and Lushus are proud of their achievements, ideas, goals and dreams; with their final numbers for the reign over $100,000 raised. The duo remains the Romance of the Rockies; well loved, achieved and they lived ...happily ever after.
