lavenderblue19 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That thing is a riot!! I love it. Every time I look at it, I laugh my bum off. I'm with you db. I can't stop laughing either. Almost choked on the water I was drinking. Whoever created that statue must have been drinking quarts of Vitameatavegamin. That stuff was 90 proof 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LornaHansonForbes Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Cant post pics with my Smartphone, but if someone wants to post a bing image of when Beetlejuice became that horrific, stop-motion snake thing in the movie BEETLEJUICE, do so- because that is what the face on that statue reminds me of.

LornaHansonForbes Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 A little touch of Eddie Munster is there as well. This is one of those cases where a young child's hopes and dreams of becoming an artist really should have been crushed by their parents.

mockingbird66 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That is such a goofy looking statue. It looks half crazy up close. Who in their right mind thought that looked like Lucille Ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is there a Lucille Ball Estate, or family, or friends, or advocates, or somebody, or even fans like you and me, who might do something to have this dreadful monstrosity destroyed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr6666 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 artist Dave Poulin: "I take full responsibility for 'Scary Lucy,' though by no means was that my intent or did I wish to disparage in any way the memories of the iconic Lucy image," Poulin wrote in his letter that was sent to multiple outlets, referencing the nickname the statue earned. "From the day of its installation, I have shared my disappointment in the final outcome and have always believed it to be by far my most unsettling sculpture, not befitting of Lucy’s beauty or my ability as a sculptor." "Yes, in retrospect, it should have never been cast in bronze and made public, and I take complete ownership of that poor decision," --so just WHO approved the original clay/wax model of this horror to begin with?? & it's been up since 2009!! just how long does it take to notice??
