Reign XX
The Court of Unity and Fantasy
April 16, 1994

Empress XX Stephanie Starr
The Galaxy Sapphire Empress

Emperor XX Diane DeHerrera
The Black Panther Emperor

“When you wish upon a Star” is the appropriate description of the election of the 20th 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 beginning the unification efforts of the court to its pinnacle. With Stephanie 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 since then. 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 here in Denver.

The beginning of the reign was celebrated at PR Ball at the Executive Tower Inn, Snow Ball 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 Rose 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; Czar, Lee Doudney. Diane awarded her permanent title to Mary Martinez, an outstanding Court member.

The culmination of the twentieth reign “cha-chaed” with Carnival in Rio, a grand night of resplendent beauty and color and thus made way for the 21st reign.
