Here's a random, pointless question relating to Jesus that I just came up with. It has no theological, philosophical or other significance.

Did God choose ahead of time the appearance that He (aka: Jesus) would take? To put it another way: God could've made His human form look appealing, ugly, average, etc. Or He could've "just left it up to chance" (predestination is another topic for another time) and just said "I'm going to become a human baby" and just let nature do with the growth as it may. 
I wonder if there was some sort of discussion between God the Father and Jesus before He was incarnated along the lines of "Ok, Son, I've decided that I'm going to send You to Earth in human form; to grow up as a human." "Sure, Dad. I'll do whatever you ask. But one request?" "Yes?" "Can you make me at least a semi-good-looking person? Not some grotesque creature no one wants to listen to?" I doubt something like that happened. I'm probably trying to impress upon God human emotions and qualities. But it is amusing to think about.
