The Perspective of The Crystal 

The Neon Pink Fairy of the Nightshade Moon

Empress XLI Melissa Nawrocki Roberts

Caeri, being of true Rom (Gypsy) heritage, and traveling around the U.S., happening upon Coronations elsewhere around the country; being involved with the Krewes of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Caeri came into the Imperial Court scene with I.C.R.M.E. after moving to Denver.  During Reign 39 he was asked by Ken Bazan, Emperor 39, to be his Prince Royale and this set him on the road to being elected Emperor 41 of I.C.R.M.E.  Melissa had always been a straight ally of the GLBTQ community mainly through the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire and Gay Pride Pageantry.  Melissa worked in many different aspects of the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire building sets, running backrooms for shows, and anything else you can think of that needed to get done. She was Marquisa 31 under Empress 31 Kiki Monroe and as well Princess Royale 39 under Martini Monroe. 

Melissa, after being elected Empress 41 became the first straight biological daughter of a past Empress within the Imperial Court System and the second cis-female to be elected Empress of the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire.  With the rising popularity of superhero movies and Caeri and Melissa’s love for superhero comics and the movies, they decided to involve Reign 41 completely around this idea since it never had been done before.  King of Hearts was no longer an Emperors event thus Snowball was hosted by the Empress and Emperor (Babes in Toyland Gotham City), Coronation 42 ( Superhero Legends: A Night in the Hall of Justice) and other events incorporated the superhero theme as well. 
 

Caeri and Melissa went into their Reign with a passion for community, education, recognition of the systematic abuse of children as well as Native Americans that are all but forgotten as members of the GLBTQ community.  They focused on working and fundraising for the Denver’s Children Advocacy Center whose mission is to Prevent Abuse, Strengthen Families and Restore Childhood.  Fundraising for the American Indian College Fund and local Native American groups.  The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force among others and, holding community meetings once a month with the general public as well as bars and organizations to gather input about their wants and needs and, how the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire could help them work toward those goals.  During their Reign they both worked extremely hard and diligently to regain working relationships with local organizations and individuals in the Denver community whether they were GLBT or straight supporters.  We believe as our Reign came to an end, we were only hitting the tip of the iceberg and hoped we would be passing the torch to our successors.
