> First of all, thanks for the amazing news Gloriana !

Yeah, things are coming out pretty fast.
The upcoming site, Sean's personal info about
Clare, and the third movie, Skulls-3.

Now your info about D.E.B.S.

The SAT plot sounds a lot like one of the current
secondary plots on "Alias" about the secret portion of 
an IQ test for selection of young kids for special 
training as KGB/CIA operatives. Then they are called in
as adults.

This pretty much solves why Clare was MIA since 
early October on WireImage/interviews. And why 
she has only done the morphing scene on Buffy 
9/24/02 so far.

Sean's wording on her reappearance in 2003 episodes
as Glory was pretty cryptic, carefully couched in 
'future & if" terms that do not correspond with 
Clare's own earlier rather absolute interviews.

We still expect Clare to reappear as she promised
- as a fighting Glory, probably helping Buffy & Dawn, 
but with her own agenda. Somewhat like the recent 
spoiler rumor.

To expect less after her own interview buildups 
about Glory would really be a letdown. Lots of 
people expect her to interact with Eliza Dushku/Faith, 
(her real-life BIO friend) when Eliza arrives for
5 episodes, after 3 on Angel.

Aeris,
Any idea what the event was or the date?
Her wearing her silver cross, visible in the smaller image
seems to put it between Spring-Fall 2002. But when?

In one image her hair appears Glory-reddish, in the other, blonde.
Lighting differences?

Thanks so much,

-What does Clare expect of the site?
To have a professional looking site that will enable 
people to get up to date and accurate information on 
her acting career.

-Will Clare be contributing to the website?
All aspects of the site will be approved by her prior to 
going online.

-Will her professional schedule, etc., be there?
No.

-Will there be a posting board? Like on her roommate's
Bianca Kajlich) site:
http://www.biancakajlich.com/main.html
Yes.

-Are you taking any suggestions still?
No.

-What about videos & image galleries?
As it is an officially sanctioned site, Clare 
doesn't wanted any copyrighted materiel being 
used on it unless permission is granted. The
majority of stills used on the site will be 
copyrighted to either Clare or myself.

-We on the Groups only know about 2 movies
"The Girl in Row 5" & "D.E.B.S". Any idea
what the third one is?
The third is SKULLS 3. It is the third in a series 
of horror/thriller films about secret societies at 
American Universities. The film will be a direct to
dvd/video release in the US, but may get a cinema 
release in Europe.

Clare has the leading role in the film, and has 
virtually every other line. Clare also had to dye her 
hair brown for the role. The film was shot in Toronto 
last November.

It's not The Girl In Row 5. It's The Guy In Row 5.

-Is Clare still going to make more Glory appearanse as promised?

Should Clare be asked to return to BUFFY as Glory, or indeed any 
other character, she would do so. Clare is an amazingly loyal 
individual.

StarFury's main page shows a web site in work

This is Sean Harry's StarFury site, it appears he
intends to host Clare's site. The web designer
is Michael Conrad, who does Sean's StarFury web designs.

Hey, we've been pestering Clare, probably 
annoyingly, for over a year to make her 
presence officially on line. 

Maybe she's finally going to do it.

We'll add all this to Clare News and watch
to see if it develops into something we can
go to to see what Clare's doing real time.

Instead of being surprised.
Which has always been our primary argument to her.

One third of the tickets for the Evening With Clare 
and Juliet have sold in just three days.

Sean Harry

Just to let you all know, that the day after 
their appearance at Pages Bar, and a week 
prior to their appearance at END OF DAYS, 
Clare and Juliet will be appearing at a one 
day BUFFY convention taking place in Belfast, 
Northern Ireland.

UTEvents will be running THE HELLMOUTH at the 
Europa Hotel, Belfast 
on Sunday 27th April 2003.

For further details please visit:
http://www.utevents.co.uk

Sean Harry

Though there are still two more guests to be 
announced for StarFury 2003 End of Days,
everyone expects Clare to be signed up soon.

She's at this pre-EOD event, previously rumored on
the StarFury group as being in Northern Ireland.
Clare was in Belfast at the beginning of her UK 
tour last May.

Juliet Landau, from Buffy also, will be with her.
Juliet is already listed as a guest.

Subject: An Evening Event

We'll be running an evening event on Saturday 26th April, a week 
prior to END OF DAYS. Taking place at Pages Bar from 5pm until 11pm.

The guests will be two of the most popular Big Bads from Buffy, Clare
Kramer (Glory) and Juliet Landau (Drusilla).

Tickets for this event are priced at £16, and are extremely
limited.

Further details are up on the STARFURY website.

Sean Harry
=================================================
As usual, for the events, since we assume Clare will then
go to the EOD Convention, possibly after some more bookstore
tours(?), we'll do our third Clare image and vignette 
collection effort, successful in Nov 2001 & May 2002,
to cover the event.
http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery3.html
http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html

Though it nearly killed us last time, working with the 
image contributors and posters to do it sometimes in 
almost real time.

The Clare ad image will be up on Clare News later 
today also:
http://gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html

We also continue to expect big things for Clare as Glory,
in the later half of Season-7, based on the LACK of solid 
spoilers and her uncharacteristic LACK of interviews
about what she is doing.

Remember, in all her 3 Fall interviews, she openly indicated
she would be involved in deciding what path Glory would
take. We always assumed this meant not only acting, 
but helping develop/write the storyboards & lines.
cont'd on next column...

cont'd from prior column...
Maybe more?
Remember what was said about this Clare in "Time of Transition".
Before all her interviews were surfaced:
http://www.gloryisagod.com/timeoftransition3.html
...
Dawn turned to Michelle and began telling her what changes she was 
contemplating. 

Both Clares listened intently. Dawn wanted to drift toward some of 
her more realistic depictions from her Works. "It'll be hard, but 
you've gotten over the hurdle of whether you can be a Slayer of some 
sort." 

"And Glory's snuck back on the show, however stealthily..." Dawn was 
already in a transition writing mood. It was a challenge. "I'll have 
to roll some heads, or create some meaningless promotions, to allow 
my storylines to be adapted." 

"Clare, " she added... 

Both looked at her. "Uh, Clare, you..." she poked at Clare across 
Michelle's back. "I have special longer range ideas beyond just Glory 
for you..." 
...
We can only wait and see if Clare does what she expected to do
when she returned to Buffy. Now that Firefly is cancelled, this 
could be even more effort by all concerned for Buffy & the 
anticipated spinoff or whatever?

Incidentally, for those interested in such things, 
and everyone isn't, initial portions of the latest
PG-13 trilogy are being uploaded as we transcribed 
them from the 100% in-hand, handwritten manuscripts.

Observation about Clare at StarFury from Vignettes:
"It's funny, but it's only when you're close up that you realise just how 
petite some of these actresses are; 

"Clare is a tiny waif of a thing, though gorgeous-looking with a huge 
friendly smile that makes up for any lack of stature. She tells us 
her arm is aching from all the signing."

We've spend some speculative time on the content of the propmaster's
tag pinned to the blouse (not the tomandandy one, but the one in the
e-bay fuzzy image of Clare & Avary & the cast in a photo lineup).

The A/o over written in red could be the things approved by Avary
for Clare to keep. But they could also be things returned and checked
off. Though that theory has some problems also since so much is not 
flagged this way. 

They are accessories and boots, but obviously not the pants and 
blouse. Some even see the (misspelled) silver cross and chain 
in the list. Certainly that's possible, since we first flagged it in our Starfury2002 gallery in May 2002. She's surfaced it many times 
since then (and maybe before). 

One place she did not wear it was the ROA Premiere. 

The pants, we're not sure of whether she was wearing them in her
remaining 1 minute cameo.

Certainly her swaying with the red cup scene that was in the trailers 
was cut. As apparently was the one in which she wore the blouse, 
which is identified on the propmasters tag.

ROA never surfaced as a movie-goer's destination. There were 
11 other people in the theater when we attended. Reviews were 
devastating. Except for rare reviews that focused solely on
the anti-Dawson of the lead male actor.

As we feared when when we reviewed the book in the Fall of 2001. 
Avary actually succeeded in re-writing a script that was harder to 
digest than the 4-person/first-person puzzle that was the original
book (actually a diary of sorts).

Fortunately, Clare got to have some fun and lots of exposure, 
plus no blame for the ROA crash-dive. Credits count, especially 
since so few people saw it and the rest will remember it for the PR 
blitz that made it look somewhat exciting.

Of course we intend to pursue returning the pants to Clare's possession as a gift. The back of the tag for the pants says she wanted to buy them. But never got the chance.

As one can see in the scans, someone scissored out the 
pullout portion of both front pockets. Maybe to make them
fit without a pocket line? 

The bottom of the blouse was also shortened with a bit more 
careful scissoring. Probably to bare Clare's midriff. The blouse is 
Size 1 (and a small size 1 at that). But it is a little stretchy.

When IE 6.0 auto-resizes (shrinks) the 
large 1:1 scanned images so the  writing
is unreadable/too small,  see how to 
make them full-sized again:

Clare looked really good as Glory last night. 
She also had a few dissipated seconds from the 
ROA ad that ran half-way thru Buffy "Lessons".

Maybe the look she's using is her "Helen Keller"
unfocused look she talked about in her long 
interview. 

This Clare portion of video in the ad wasn't very 
good. Lots like the on-line video previews, 
just bigger. Still we captured every 'frame'.

We recorded all this digitally and then made 
about 300 quicky captures via a 50 foot cable
from the video out. 

Captures from Ultimate TV are more like DVD captures. 
Stop. Capture. Frame forward. Capture.

We did about 200 captures of Clare as Glory in her 
little word games speech. She did the steepling 
thing with her fingers. Like in Season-5 and in 
"Random Years" and on the BIO DVD extra stuff.

We'll put some of these up on this site, in Clare News 
and on Clare-Emilie-Michelle over the next 
few days. 

And flag it.

Welcome Back, Glory!
Hope to see her drop in for cameos later in the season
as part of this "theme", what ever it is.

Nice timing on the new movie also, "The Girl in Row 5".
Co-star Tyler Christopher was on General Hospital awhile 
back, before he left to pursue other activities.

This is no "We Told You So".

But it's only fair to tell everyone this information about
both Glory & Dawn and Season-7 recent spoilers via JW & LW:

Printed copies of selected DTLS on-line works have been in 
circulation via several 'very informal' contact points on
Buffy since the late summer of 2001, with periodic updates 
since then.

Some of the spoilers about Dawn are similar to those in the 
works, particularly the early works in the "Sunnydale" and 
"Three Days" Saga cycles, which are complete online.

Which is why we've been so doggedly insistent about her
role enhancement and the survival of Glory. Dawn & Glory's 
destinies are inextricably bound together. 

"Dawn the Last Slayer, Parts 1-3"
"Three Days in Roswell, Parts 1-4"
"Three Days in Sunnydale, Parts 1-4"
"Dawn-2018 A.D."

It'll be intriguing to see how Glory managed to survive,
as we reported in detail in the very first work on-line
last summer.

"Buffy & Glory- Beyond the Portal"

The later works in the "L.A. Saga" cycle are only partly on-
line, though complete manuscripts are in hand. Many such have 
detailed synopses on-line though, as a poor alternative to the 
dialog, action and personal details of the actual works.

Feel free to browse, because you will probably see some 
more Season-7 (& possibly Season-8) content there, especially 
as we complete uploading the unfinished ones and start on the
later ones in the "Greater Glory Saga" cycle.

Martha Modlin, Executive Vice President
of Inkworks:

Recently, I caught up with three of the 
talented actresses who star on both shows 
when they attended the Starfury, Bad Girls 
Sci-fi Convention in London. I showed Julie 
Benz (Darla), Clare Kramer (Glory), and 
Mercedes  McNab (Harmony) the latest set of 
Buffy Season 5 and ANGEL Season 2 cards and
obtained their views on what it is like
being captured in the tie-in medium of every
kid's fantasy; seeing themselves on a 
collectible trading card!

      CLARE KRAMER (GLORY) 

We first spoke with Clare, 
presenting her with the Glory
cards from the Buffy Season 5 set.

This was the first season in which her
character appeared, a Goddess set on 
destroying the world, so the excitement 
of seeing the cards for the first time
was a genuine one.

"I have not seen any – how do I get these?" 
Inkworks was happy to supply all the actresses 
with their own complete set but in the moment
 I gave her mine to hold her over. 

"Oh wow – really? Oh my God, thank you," she enthuses.

As Clare looks through them I ask her what she thinks 
of all this, to which she replieslaughing, "I just 
think it's Rad! I'm pretty psyched honestly, it's 
pretty wild you know." 

I offered that it's not  something one typically 
thinks about when they're  a kid, you might
have wanted to be an actress but you never think 
you'll grow up to be on trading cards of all things.

"No!" Clare agrees, "To me this is like the fringe
benefit. I don't know, it's just the projects you pick
really and I just feel lucky to have gotten Buffy 
because it's such  a cool show." 

She pauses to look through the cards again before saying, 
"And who else is going to have trading cards! It's so rad,
 I love it. Alright, I've got to put them down or I'll 
keep looking at them," she laughs.

Inkworks does such an outstanding job with the quality 
of their cards and Clare was even interested as to how 
the sets  were put together. "Now is there one card per 
episode, is that how it works?" she asks. 

I explain that, when you read through all the cards from 
start to finish there are typically 2-3 cards per episode
 that follow the story arc. 

"Oh I see. I see how it works." I then inform her of the 
special sub-sets that feature only the show's evildoers 
for example, this giving Glory  quite a bit of card-time 
as she appears in both the regular set as well as the demon 
section. "The Beastiary," she laughs, catching on quickly, 
"Nice! That is awesome."

Inkworks has won numerous awards for their quality of 
merchandise and it's no surprise that their product 
continues to  improve year after year. With a 
90-card base set to please any fan there are also 
the sub-sets that exclusively cover the
heroes to the evil demons and the ever-rare 
autograph cards. 

"Autograph cards, or our Pieceworks cards (which are 
cards embedded with a piece of an actual show-worn item), 
give the fans an even closer connection with their 
favorite actors," offers Modlin. "They were first used 
in sports trading cards, such as baseball cards, before
making the jump into  entertainment trading cards.

Collectors know that the specially-designed card that 
we have autographed can only be found randomly inserted
in our trading card packs."

First Q&A from our photo source (Kiera)
Q=Gloriana
A=Kiera Fyles

>Q. How did Clare do?

A. She was fantastic!

I must admit, having seen her at the last BG, I wasn't sure how
to take her, but I'm guessing it was nerves as she was a lot more
relaxed this time.

She did a rendition of 'Mickey' from 'Bring It On' on Saturday nice that
was amazing, and so funny.

Clare got a little drunk on Saturday night apparently, but she partied 
hard and made a little (3 or 4 year old) girl's day by picking her up and dancing with her.

Clare has a friend for life I think!

> Q. Since StarFury is only the beginning of her 11 day
>    U.K. Tour, did she have someone with her to handle
>    the photos she was autographing & selling? Like
>    maybe her younger sister?

A. Think her dad was with her, but not 100% sure.
================================================
Amazing Clare!

Images on the way soon per Kiera...
She's in Belfast today.
Aberdeen tomorrow.

I would also like to express my ABSOLUTE 
surprise.  My friends and I had planned
to do "Hey Mickey!" as a sort of 'Bring 
It On' tribute. 

However, we did NOT expect Clare to come 
out and join us. 

I turned around and there she was!  She is
a fantastic girl...I'm not even going to 
start cos I'll be here forever! 

And that's only on one guest!
=========

Fantastic, Amazing... nice tributes to Clare so far.

Interesting how long legs BIO has. It's on DirectTV 
many times every week now. WAM in particular & others
alternating.

Clare Kramer and Elizabeth Anne Allen- the 
Goddess and the Rat. Presents for Clare Kramer
and Eliza Dushku - tiny little thongs.

Actually seemed to me a lot of the questions
for CK were actually about ED. Struck me as 
a bit odd/rude.

EAA not a rat. Allergic to dairy. Really not
a rat. And what had Sean introduced her as?

CK liked Glory's dresses a lot. Couldn't 
nick them because they really expensive.
...
CK & EAA - Someone asked CK if she washed cars,
 and there was negotiating the price and stuff 
(apparently see `Bring it on' for why, but I 
imagine wet ladies in skimpy clothes is involved).
