baby jesuses of the day
sometimes i go to ebay and search “baby jesus.” today brings a veritable bonanza!
mexican baby jesus. nice eyelashes, kid. that gold lame diaper makes it!
lawdy miss clawdy! infant of prague or queen elizabeth I?
you can find more pix of it in all of its queenly glory here.
the description is great: “DRESS IS CLEAN AND CRISP” “THIS IS A BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED AND DRESSED INFANT IN A MANAGABLE SIZE - JUST LOVELY. A VENERABLE OBJECT OF DEVOTION.”
manageable size? as opposed to an unmanageable infant of prague?
by the time the Baby J gets hummel-ized, he’s turned into a ceramic glazed blonde kewpie doll, wearing a white bathtowel for modesty:
what on earth is a “liquinet inc. baby jesus”? is that some kind of hairspray brand? all i can say to this one is, “jesus christ!”
“PERFECT FOR THAT CHRISTMAS PLAY OR OTHER RELIGOUS SITUATION. HE LOOKS SO GENTLE AND WISE.”
yeah … “other religious situations.” or rather, “RELIGOUS.” i’ve never heard of “christmas play” but then again, new fetishes continue to surprise me.
extra gowns! a slip! lace crinolines! ok, now i can’t stop.
“Here is a Vintage Infant Of Prague Figure with a fabulous jeweled crown and extra gowns. It is plaster and beautifully painted with blue glass eyes. This figure is wearing a fancy gold and white lace cape and gown over a white satin slip, also included are five extra gowns for holidays and a lace crinoline. ”
wow - hide and go seek IOP?
“ready or not, here I come!”
“they’ll never see me here!”
“He has lovely detail and has a removeable purple velvet cape trimmed in gold as well as his chalk one. The cross on his crown is loose but intact.Some loss of paint on back of head fingers tip of nose and back of vestment as shown.”
They also “use bubble and peanuts for safe arrival”
“bubble and peanuts!”
oh my. this is just plain wrong.

I’m going to buy up some baby dolls and sell them on ebay as Mexican Baby Jesuses at an incredible mark up. He’s my favorite Mexican.

The second one up needs a Marlbro in one hand and and a drink in the other.
And maybe some shoes….

Donna, the next time you’re in the Boston area, you have to visit St. Benedict’s church in Somerville. It has a niche with statues of about a dozen saints, including your favorite, St. Lucy of the Eyes!

OH, remember my IOP NiteLite? I should put it next to my Vatican/St. Paul’s one–the IOP would look like a GIANT! It’s Euro, so I’d have to get adaptor!
