The Annual Bat-N-Rouge Softball Tournament

Team photo of The Queen Bees after their defeat.

eld during the weekend of Coronation 14, the First Annual Bat-N-Rouge Softball Tournament was a great success. The game was organized by our current Emperor Elvin Harkins, and featured a team of women who regularly play in a women's league against a team of queens and out-of-town guests of the RSIC. Though they led after the first two innings, the heat under the wigs and makeup began to get to the queens, and despite lots of trash-talking by their catcher, Empress 6 Twyla Knight, the Queen Bees suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Stinger Stompers. One of the real women was heard commenting that they had a tournament to play in the next weekend, and they wouldn't be able to show their faces if they were beaten by a bunch of queens. Oh well, at least they had nothing on us when it came to fashion! And nearly $200 was donated to the Fayette County AIDS Medication Fund.

Coronations 15's game was rained out, and is planned for Fall of 1997.

not, but doesn't her muumuu look fierce?).

Trash-talking catcher Empress 6 Twyla Knight. How she kept from being ejected from the game we'll never know.

Imperial Princess Royal 15 Tina Camaro shows that softball players can be feminine too.

Council Member Miss Belva Beaumont is flawless in her official University of Kentucky custodian's uniform.

ur huge production number of "I've Got Rhythm" from the most recent coronation in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a fabulous coronation ball, and the Cincinnati court is a wonderful host. Pictured from left to right are Empress 2, 13 & 14 Jacqueline Parrish, Princess Royal 15 Tina Camaro, Empress 6 Twyla Knight, Empress 16 Chanda Lier, Tiffany Andrews, and Empress 15 Natalie Gaye.

King Father Ultima "Papa" Joe Raimondo of Buffalo, New York has long been a friend of the RSIC. Here he is performing at our coronation 14.

Emperor 15 Paul Johnson carouses with a hunky leather-clad court member from Colorado at the Cincinnati coronation. If you can identify this man, please let me know. It makes blackmailing Paul much easier! :-)

Empress 6 Twyla Knight and Empress 3 & 4 and Renee Alexander let their hair down.
