Joseph/Jesus Costume

joseph_jesus

The ‘market price’ of this Joseph/Jesus costume is $45.00, but it can be gotten for only $26.95 at Planet Santa! (Check out the Biblical Costumes page.) Caveat emptor: “Does not include the wig and beard set.” That much said, bear in mind that “this is great for many biblical or middle eastern roles.”

So you could wind up saving money big-time, as your Joseph/Jesus costume might do for: Muhammad, John the Baptist, Job, Ali Baba, Nebuchadnezzar, Abraham, Sinbad, the Mahdi, David (or Jonathan), Saladin, Moses, or any number of prophets, major or minor. (Not suitable for the Sheik of Araby, the Thief of Baghdad, or that Turkish officer with a hard-on for Peter O’Toole in Lawrence of Arabia.)

    Dammit. Those never go on sale.

    I see them on eBay every so often.

    Do you think it’s durable enough for me to wear on a daily basis? I’m thinking of changing my look.

    The robe? Or the wig and beard set?

    Michael, when you make the wardrobe change, you should also change your first name to Joseph.

    Planet Santa. Biblical Costumes.

    I fuzzed out for a minute. What’d I miss?

    Do I keep Michael and just push it into the middle? Then I’d have 4 common bible names thrown in front of Smith. A 5th if you’d like me to start using my confirmation name.

    Sheila, the robe and the wig and beard set. I’d do a natrual beard if I was able, but I’m afraid the best you’d get is a robed Shaggy.

    At second glance, that white is a little too crisp for the look I was aiming at.

    Wander in the desert for a while, and you’ll achieve that distressed look.

    Kathy: Planet Santa. Biblical Costumes. What’s not to get?

  12. Michael Grant Smith on December 12th, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    Sure, it’s rough, it’s homespun, but I’ll bet that fabric breathes.

    Last pictured item: Men’s Short Indian Boot. Is that slinging the line over to Joseph Smith?

    “Easy to use Priest Collar.”

    …or you could just come to Jerusalem, and come down with Jerusalem Syndrome, a recognised illness that some tourists contract here that includes symptoms such as “a desire to dress in long robes”.

    And to think I knew all there was to know after reading Robert Stone’s “Damascus Gate”!
