His Most Imperial Majesty Rose Emperor XXXVIII, The Endearing Athens Scities Foxx, and Her Most Imperial Majesty Rose Empress LI II, The Legendary Monica Bou levard were crowned unopposed. Their reign will last one year. Despite the lack of other Emperor and Empress candidates, this year’s coronation was not without its share of drama. Sources tell Just Out that Rose Empress LI I Tsunami Foxx was suspended indefinitely for “inap propriate behavior” just five days before coronation. This decision was implemented following a three-hour meeting attended by the ISRC Board of Directors, title holders and members of both the Advisory Council of Emperors and the Imperial Council of Empresses. Both Tsunami Foxx—aka Richard Tut tle—and board president Candi Wrapper— aka John Meadows—did not respond to in quiries about further details as of press time. • In other transition news, the popular I lot Flash dance productions are rebrand ing themselves as “Inferno Dances: A Hot Flash Production.” Per a press release, Hot Flash head honcho Pauline Miriam relates that over the past several years, the name “Hot Flash” has alienated the 30- and 40- something crowd that she wants to attract. The name “Inferno” is hoped to repre sent the “hot and sassy attitude” of Hot Flash parties. • Gevurtz, Menashe, Larson & Howe law firm has welcomed back Mark Johnson Roberts, a pioneering LGBTQ_rights attor ney who began his career at the firm.
