This summer, sculptor Antony Gormley invites you to help create an astonishing living monument. He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals, in an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.
I really, really, really do not go out of my way to look for things that will embarrass my kids, but oh my, I so want to be picked to go on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. I've applied, so there's nothing more I can do now except wait. But I woke up this morning thinking about it. I was so sure that this was a sign I rushed to my emails. Nothing. So I'm sending positive thoughts out there.
I'm even being nice to pigeons. And that hurts.
You can apply yourself here, but let me tell you this - if you get in and I don't, I will find a way to climb up there to join you....

What fun & good luck! Can't think of a better person to represent humanity.
Gosh, thanks Kathryn. I feel quite overcome at the thought of representing humanity. I'd thought more of eating creme eggs up there without Alex shouting at me, and being able to bore my future grandkids in years to come. Are you doing it?
Sarah, if you get on, can I come and be your twin/shadow down below the plinth? Good luck anyway!
Karen, yes, yes, yes. We should definitely apply together.
Hi Sarah,
Glad you're so excited! Just to let you know I've posted a link to you on the official One and Other blog - www.oneandother.co.uk/whats-new.html
Hope that's okay!
If I'm not too late to this party: we should start a blogging campaign to get everyone to apply, in order to donate their position (that sounds rude) to Ms Salway in the event that they win.
I couldn't do it: I get vertigo when I stand on the footstool, and I know I'd just fall off and break my wrist, and cry in front of everyone. But oh. I shall wait for this, and watch you up there on the plinth.
Artichoke, I'm now even more excited to be on your page! And Jane, thank you - I love the idea of bloggers uniting ... maybe we could ALL get up there? And wave down at you of course. x
