- Begin by talking about my dissertation 'The Appropriation of 'Vintage' on Second Hand Clothes by The Fashion Industry'. Talk about the importance of Nostalgia in a post-modern world and the pros and cons of the current trend of it's use within design.
- Explain that I will manifest this concept in a fully working, scaled up, adult sized children's coin operated ride. It will take the form of a giraffe, (see below) and I will talk about the reasons for this.
- This project will bring together a whole manner of skills in terms of art direction, which I hope to pursue after leaving Chelsea.
- On the 21st Feb I spoke to Roy Larner of Severn Lamb UK manufacturers who have agreed to make the ride for me. I will be involved with every step of the manufacturing process, making every decision, but will employ a project manager.
- To accompany the ride I will keep and design a Log Book showing every step of the decision and manufacturing process.

Wow, what a unique and interesting project! Would love to help in some way, even if to follow your story on my blog pages.
Anyway - in response to your question re locating the Ealing Road Giraffe ride, I remembered that I had taken some video footage from the top deck of my beloved bus, sometime in 2004. And When YouTube was first launched in 2005 I mixed together some of the footage as part of my own experimentation into capturing "real London" in music video form. You can see that video called Real London Bus Journey at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcasDK4v9O8
Anyway, when I watched through the Ealing Road bit of that music video, rather frustratingly I discovered that I had cut out the bit right near where the Giraffe would have been roughly located. So I had to go back into my original video footage - i.e the tape where I had the raw footage - and I scanned through that to see if I could spot the shop that it was outside of. And sure enough, I located the shop. I have put another video up on YouTube that explains what I did - and also gives you the exact name and address details of that saree shop!
That video is at:

Oops. The video seems to have been corrupted so I will upload it again. Check my YouTube to see when it's ready.
OK - the video now seems to be uploaded OK. Go to:
