1.0 CLARE'S WEDDING GIFT
As promised, on this day before Clare's next convention *(see her schedule), in L.A. Friday 3/17/06 only, here are the photos & some background on the gift we gave Clare about a week before her wedding (10/29/05).
In Orlando several weeks ago, Clare said she was stunned when she opened the (purple wrapped, with a large white bow) inner gift package.
Inside was Glory's unique & fabulous coat. Long thought lost or in the hands of unknowns.
She told us that it was now in her special closet to keep as the only Glory outfit she possesses. We also coached Clare as to what to say if she was asked the frequent Q&A question "Do you have any of Glory's clothes?"
To which we've heard her many times say, regretfully, "No". Now, she agreed, that was "Yes". Not exactly Prada, but a Glory outfit nonetheless.
What we coached her on was the followup question of how she'd gotten it. Clare agreed to simply say it came from the site, gloryisagod.
2.0 GLORY'S COAT SEQUENCES
3.0 CLARE'S "RULES OF ATTRACTION" OUTFIT
We sent these to Clare back in 2004, after doing a video interview with her in England. We include these for comparison regarding sizing. Our Glory's Coat was Size 1, at best, in the shoulders. And Clare has said many times that Ben/Charlie had a duplicate Glory wardrobe to hers, only much larger sized.

5.0 THE GLORY COATS - LOCATIONS
5.1 The locations of the much larger two coats of various Bens are not known.
5.2 Glory's Season-5 Outfits auctioned off in local L.A. event sometime after 9/11/2001.
"11/05/01 "GLORY AUCTION" "For the first time since 5/22/01, the word "Glory" passed Sarah's lips. She announced the upcoming "Glory Auction" for Sept. 11 funds.
"She said that it started out as a small thing (probably with the Prada & other outfits/accessories Glory/Clare Kramer wore) and has grown as other celebrities have donated gowns and dresses."
5.2.1 Current coat location is ???.
5.3 Glorificus/Glory and the other dimensional Glory/Glory Hall coats
(NOTE: Curupira & the Las Cruces dimension Tess were accidentally combined as a morphing pair at the time the portal was open) ... "No," she said, "Take this, " she showed him a key ring she's taken from one of the monks' bodies. Pausing, she cast a minor morphing spell on it. "For a few hours, these keys will open any car or truck. Just keep trying them until one works," she tossed them to him.
When he left, she went up on the tower and quickly found both Glorys' clothes and goodies' magically cloaked trunks on the level below where the tower extension platform was. She was dragging them lightly down the last stairs, past where she'd first touched Dawn when she heard footsteps. ... By the time Ben drove up, Tess was sitting on one of the trunks, now with the other stuff near the alley. He got out and walked over to help load the pickup he'd gotten. His eyes strayed to the scene in front of the tower steps. "Jeez, what happened... demons?" he guessed, since there were bodies. ... Yeah," Ben shuddered at the memory and went over to examine the remains to satisfy his medical curiosity. One look told him that he really didn't want to get on her bad list. ... Curupira was still in a delightful daze as she got into the truck with Ben. She had forgotten to morph back into Tess. "Pretty impressive, isn't she?" he said smiling broadly as he started the truck. "Now you see why we try so hard."
What they did for the next 3 hours was something they would never talk about without prodding.
Suffice it to say that that Buffy would never be cut upon for an autopsy. That was a promise that had been made in memory of both the other Dawn and the other Buffy in case the good Glory failed and they had to use Plan-B. Months ago they had surmised that this Buffy would be killed trying to save her Dawn.
5.3.1 Current location of the 2 trunks that apparently contained one or both Glorys' coats was not known until now. They were reportedly in Basement C of Glory's Palace on Glory's World.
5.4 Lucy's (LR Dimension Glory, Lucinda Reynolds) coat
- Her story, as told completely in the, as yet, not yet online "I, Glory" (2003) reads like a 'more complete' version of the 7 seasons of scripted Buffy. Including her move from Ben to her willing host Lucy, and her leaving Sunnydale to hunt down all the monks and knights.
She apparently never reclaimed her trunk of clothes & shoes. She did come back to Sunnydale later and resumed playing all sorts of tricks on insane-Buffy and evil-Dawn. Including getting the First to play the game also.
5.4.1 Lucy's coat location is ???. It's likely it vanished into the hands of those Scoobies.
Lucy was far more earthy & practical than the others when she contrived to get back to Glory's World and regain all her powers, with a little inside help, of course. As narrated in not yet online "Gods Walking Among Us"(2004)
