For weeks now on PROUD FM we have been having the people in from TICOT (The Imperial Court of Toronto) talking about the election and coronation of their newest Empress. For those who don’t know (as I didn’t), there are courts in many many cities in Canada and the U.S.. The members of the court basically raise money for charities. Two candidates stood before us. One, well spoken, in full face makeup and jewels, bearing gift bags and home baked cookies. The other, not nearly as much effort, not even appearing in drag. This went on for weeks, with one candidate clearly the front runner (in my mind anyway). Finally the elections took place and we anxiously awaited the announcing of the new empress at the coronation. I didn’t get to go, but Mark, a well known face in the Village, did (see pic below). The result? An upset! Follow the progress of TICOT as we continue to interview them on BREAKFAST IN BED with PATRICK & DEB on 103.9 PROUD FM, M-F 6-10a
