Around the Realm
We are so grateful for the energy and enthusiasm of our great membership -- they have been planning events left and right, including us, building bridges with the community and raising a ton of money for some very worthwhile causes! Here's a sampling of where we've been!
The Inaugural Gala: Washington DC
Our biggest excursion was to the Inaugural Gala of the Imperial Court of Washington DC. We had a blast, produced an amazing command performance and were on hand to witness the installation of Czar I Trace Couture Kennady-Smith. Of course, we had to get to DC first, and did so in grand style: 20 of us travelled together on Amtrak! How delightful! We read, slept, played games, planned future events and managed to have a choreographed by Paul McGill
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
The first holiday show of the reign always happens five months early!

Emperor XVII Rob Hunter de Woofs and Princess Royale Twinkle
Montgomery produced the seventh annual Jersey Girls show in Asbury Park, NJ to benefit The Center in Asbury Park.
TEA WITH THE ROYALS
Empress XIX Robin Kradles hosted the second annual Tea with the Royal
Family at Cherry's on the Bay in Cherry Grove...it was 110 degrees in the shade with 114% humidity, but our girls (and boys) turned it out and turned it up! 
FIERCE CABARET
On the heels of the brunch at Cherry's, Empress XIX Robin Kradles also
produced a fully live sung cabaret at the Metropolitan Room to benefit Fierce. The show opened with a rendition of "Magic to Do" from Pippin, led by Chad Ryan with a chorus including Robin, Epiphany, Anya Genetalya, Witti Repartee and Empress IX Philomena!  SIR ANTHONY BOSCO'S BIRTHDAY
Anthony Bosco, longtime friend of the court, held his third annual birthday party at Uncle Charlie's to benefit ICNY's programs. Hosted by Witti Repartee, a great time was had by the revelers enjoying an "Under the Sea" theme...and much money was raised!   MEET THE CANDIDATES In early August, it was time for the annual Meet the Candidates event, this time held as a brunch at LIPS -- ICNY Loves their new space and will be back again and again! Elevations and Family titles were handed out, and candidates for board and monarch positions jumped onstage to strut their stuff -- in addition to some suicide karaoke! Emperor X Gabriel Della Notte and Empress XXV Pepperica Swirl kicked things off right while Emperor XX Vanity Society kept color commentary flowing! The Court also used the opportunity to present a check for $5,000 to
THE LATEX BALL
Their majesties led an entourage of courtiers dripping in the reign colors
of black, red and white to GMHC's annual Latex Ball, held at Roseland. The Houses of Harlem turned it out and showed us what Runway was all about!  THE LOVE BOAT SAILS AGAIN!
The Court's annual excursion on The Queen of Hearts was once again
celebrated in the midst of a thunderstorm, but our hale and hearty crew, led by Emperor XX Vanity Society and Empress XXV Pepperica Swirl with help from Princess Sugar B. Real, partied on and raised money for Friends House! 
BINGO at THE WILL CLARK SHOW
ICNY is a perennial favorite at The Will Clark Show, featuring P*rno Bingo,
and we co-hosted in August and September! Watch out for our return in January!   THE NOBLES' SHOW
ICNY presented our annual opportunity for some of our newer members
to get up onstage and strut their stuff, hosted by Imperial Crown Princess Royale Witti Repartee and Lady Epiphany! This year, funds went to |
