Baby Jesus of the Week
Look at beautiful little Baby J and his precious blond curls! And his cherubic cousin, John the Baptist. I shudder to think of what would happen to that gorgeous head of hair!
I don’t know how Mary stays so relaxed and glamorous with two kids on her lap. Speaking of Baby J, it’s been far too long since I searched one of my favorite Ebay terms, “Baby Jesus.”
Oh good heavens: “Vintage Large Molded Latex Baby Jesus”
“Vintage” “Old”
Don’t get any funny ideas about using this one outside during the holidays:
Back of manger is marked “Artistic Latex Co., Form Co., Inc NY.” I was told that these were used in stores to display during the holidays and were for indoor use.
Artistic Latex!
“Isabel Bloom Nativity Baby Jesus Retired Signed”
Oh! The horror! Jesus is far too young to retire, or sign his name. Obviously a fake.
But you ain’t seen nothing yet. My mind is in smithereens over this “Vintage style” concotion, where Baby J seems to have gone fully to “the other side” before taking a trip to India:
“Unbeatable A Master piece! Hand Made and Hand Painted!! We get only one statue in a week from manufacture. Please pay ASAP. Part of the profit goes to charity and humanitarian work. Please do not hurt our ministry by deceive us. The items are religious and ritual purpose. Please be honest with us. We are try hard to support a Christian ministry.”
This one reminds me of Bette Davis in “The Virgin Queen”:
Why do I do this to myself?

The latex one would make a fantastic ice sculpture mould… now there’s a centre piece for you. Or a jell-o mould. Imagine a bright red wobbly transparent Baby Jesus!

That’s not Baby Jesus with his mum in the gold concoction: that’s Baby Ann Southern!

I have been thinking about why you do this to yourself and have considered the possibility that you may be the chosen vessel that will bring forth the second coming of the Baby Jesus, Lethal style -
“Donna is at the beginning and end of the Holy Spirit’s mission to manifest the Dirty Little Son again.”
(Pantycost, Acts 48-24-36 , The Booble.)

“Vessel” is a word I really despise. I’d be the Baby Jesus crazy Auntie, but you did remind me to brush up on my Book of Pantycost studies. I tend to get stuck in the “Revelations: Tell All!” section.

Vintage = old. Rustic = no toilet.
Mary looks rather contemplative of the incest going on in her lap. Lucky the Son ‘o God has a go to heaven free ticket.
