I think Equity might have had something to say about that...

Really? For standing there being herself?

So then peeps. What would you do?

There's an outside chance (about 16-1) that I might get a go. I have some ideas. (I was going to take a laptop and do what peeps suggested from aruond the world)

You?

Incidentally I thought this was a bit of a daft idea, but now I think it's genius. It really does reflect Britian. Loons, obsessives, people caught in the limelight etc.

It's by the same people who did the mechainical elephant. We have them on a ten year retainer. Good.


Here's the oliphant:

Watching this thing walk down Whitehall was one of my top ten experiences ever.

Me and another million people. We love this stuff.

I've been trying to decide whether I'd buy new clothing for the occasion. I think no. Identity-concealing costume, yes.

>>Really? For standing there being herself?<<

For working for nothing. Antony Gormley didn't set this up for a cup of tea and a bun, you know.

Ah.

It would be extremely hard work for me to be up there, but others make it seem like child's play.

I don't believe it- the website's down again.

The elephant was fantastic. I loved it.

Anon. is leading the early morning crowd in a 4 part participation song. He's chatty, and has lots of props up there, including a bicycle and a stack of books. I like him, telling us to seize the moment. 0400-0500 is a fun slot. I hope Cholms gets that one.

I'd impersonate a statue of Boadicea, long red hair, fierce look, and all. Maybe a spear.

Kath, on now, is dancing nearly nude with interesting body paint. Very effective.

Not surprisingly, she has one of the more appreciative audiences.

A Christian Bon Jovi fan is on now. She's not doing anything except pacing back and forth and occasionally posing like she thinks she's being shot by the paparazzi.

I don't think she's on the proper medication.

I don't get it. It's Thursday night. Where are the drunks?

"<i>I don't get it. It's Thursday night. Where are the drunks</i>"

They did whistle and cat call when she changed from her tee shirt into a football jersey. - maybe they're just warming up.

Prom on the Plinth -- She is having fun -- can't wait for Rule Britannia :)

Oh I like this lady-she's having a blast up there! I'll bet she does this in her living room at home all the time.

I'm glad there aren't any drunks aren't giving her a hard time- in fact they probably appreciate her and where she's coming from.

omg a talking mime with no pants.

My friend was on the plinth, on the 17th, between 8-9am.

trsny: That was Deidre, right? I loved her -- that constructed gown was fabulous.

The latest plinther was dressed as an astronaut for a while, now he's in a suit drinking out of a wine glass hitting golf balls.

Some very inventive plinthers but some are really rather boring :(
