At the moment your clock is superimposed on the picture of Paper Bag Princess. It is quite funny!

It's the patroness of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Our Lady of Malibu Barbie.

The statue has been likened to the T'Pol, the Vulcan science officer on the late TV series "Star Trek Enterprise."

I plead ignorance on my ability to copy the picture in question: The full-front pose in the red jump-suit with her arms at her side. Could someone please copy that image on another comment?

It's supposed to be the patroness of the Archdiocese for whom the building is named, Our Lady of the Angels. Or, in reference to the building, Our Lady of the Angles.

That's right, it's the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Every time I see this it makes my heart cry, and my fist more attracted to Mahony's nose.

How dare he do this to the Virgin Mary, what a disgrace.

He could turn it into a super-sized mausoleum that will take about 5 centuries to fill up.

I see from your link that Robert Graham is the same scuptor who produced the "statue" of the pagan Aztec god Quetzalcoatl for downtown San Jose. That graceless monument (to diversity, we're told) often prompts visitors from out of town to ask, "Why is there a big bronze turd in Cesar Chavez Plaza?"
