Looks more like Desi with the hair and mouth.

You Got That Right! It does look like Desi. Don't blame Lucy's fans they should take it down.

Those sculptures are just horrible.

These stories have been around for years locally....they just recently were picked up by the national press.

The statue is in Celeron - her hometown - which is really small and off the beaten path.
