Jay Chou has just signed a deal that puts him in the States for an extended period of time. He's pretty excited about it. He's been going back and forth for over a year now. This way he will get more time with his lady, Kyori. He had to contract out some new band members. The drummer, Max, and the guitarist, Chris, have both signed contracts. He is still looking for a permanent keyboardist. It's Saturday night and rehearsal has been unusually long.
Max, the drummer.
Jay Chou
All of the instruments shown are from the Justin Bieber Concert Stage playset.
Chris, Kara's husband, jumped at the chance to play with Jay Chou. Kara is a little concerned that it will interfere with their performances.
JB is just standing in for the night. He's a great keyboardist, but his mom will not sign off for him to be a full time band member. After all, he is still in high school.
"How did it sound that time?" Jay Chou asks his music producer, who is operating the sound boards.
"Well, I think that's good for now. We will work on the ending next time." (Jay to producer)
"Jay, how about we change the ending a liitle. Maybe take it down an octave to something like this." Chris plays a few bars on his guitar.
"I like that. We'll work on it Tuesday. It's getting pretty late." (Jay)
"Alright guys. Thanks for coming. We'll meet here again Tuesday night, same time." (Jay)
Jay starts talking to Chris. Off in the distance, Kyori, his girlfriend has made her way on stage.
She waits for a bit, then makes her way over, just as Chris is leaving.
"Hey sweetheart. Have you been waiting long?" (Jay)
"No. I've learned that when you tell me a time, it's going to be at least an hour later than you tell me." (Kyori)
"Am I that predicatable?" (Jay)
"Predictable and cute." (Kyori)
Max's girlfriend, Carmen was also waiting.
"Honey, you look tired." (Carmen)
"I am tired. Do you mind if we just grab a quick bite and go relax?" (Max)
"I am tired. Do you mind if we just grab a quick bite and go relax?" (Max)
"Of course not. How about the IHOP down the street?" (Carmen)
"So can we go now?" (Kyori)
"Give me five minutes to talk to my producer and then I'm set." (Jay)
"Ok, five minutes and then I am dragging you out of here." (Kyori)
Jay is a work-a-holic and is prone to losing track of time.
This is the guitar stand. The guitar itself has a strap so the dolls can stand and hold the guitar.
This is a working foot pedal. It isn't attached to the drum. It can be placed wherever you like. Isn't it cute?
This is the Justin Bieber chair. It closes up top, but I was being lazy.
Here it is with a seated doll. There is one more prop that I didn't show, which is a headset. The microphone shown up top is a really nice one. The articulation on the Bieber doll is also very nice. Just a reminder, I found this set at Big Lots for $15 a few days ago.
This is an awesome thrift store find my mother gave to me today. They are WORKING multicolor strobe lights. Perfect for a dance club. I may have to put my mom on the payroll. She is getting pretty good at finding wonderful dolly props.
I LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteWho is the first guy(Max The Drumer)?
I Love Him!!
I adore the idea of musicians on a doll collection,I'm waiting for the moment I'll be able to create mine...so this post was an inspiration!!
Thank You!!
Jorge - Thanks! Max is Max from the One Direction boy band. I rebodied him on an action figure body. I look forward to seeing your doll musicians.
Delete#1 ... I loved this story. The props are awesome. #2 What kind of doll us Max? I need that hotness in my town , lol
ReplyDeleteToni - Glad you enjoyed Jay's band. Max is from the group, One Direction. I ordered him from Ebay. I rebodied him on an action figure body. I had to blast the fan when I did this post. Way too much hotness with Max and Jay.
DeleteFunny, everything here is sized perfectly and looks great! Much better than the usual Mattel fair? Who is the set by?
ReplyDeleteUm, let mom know she can be on TWO payrolls. Fantastic find!!
Grandmommy - This is the Justin Bieber set by a company called Bravado. Did you see the cake/dessert display trays my mom found at the thrift store? She's been kicking butt lately.
DeleteOh Maxy Maxy Maxy. He looks great with an eye repaint and new body!
ReplyDeleteVerona - I didn't even touch his eyes, yet. They looked just fine to me for this photshoot. He is giving us his smoldering sexy look.
DeleteI'm a FAN!!! (^_^)
ReplyDeleteCat - They love new fans! Now get back to sewing. LOL!
DeleteI have this set and it looks awesome in and out of the box! I'm keeping mine in the box for now though.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bieber is 18 so he can stay up late even if his mother doesn't approve. Oh, well, he's not 21 so he might not be allowed in the club at night. I only know how old he is because the last Bieber I bought at TJ Maxx the clerk said, "Ohh, I love me some Bieber. You know he's 18 now, girl. Mmh hmm, all legal. Hehe" LOL
Muff - I am in the midst of organizing the doll room, so it was freed from it's box to go to it's new home. Oh that's not Jusin Bieber on the keyboard. That's JB and he's only 16. Girl, even if he was 18, if he was living at home with his momma, and still in high school, he may still have to play by her rules.
DeleteEverything looks great! I'm glad to see the scale of it works. I may have to consider a set, if they're at my Big Lots. I have a female band put together but the drummer is of FR size, so I was wondering about the drum set. Max is a hottie! Good to see Jay with a body...he's to hot to keep hiding for long. ;)
ReplyDeleteTracy - Thanks. I highly recommend both Bieber sets. The drum set is the same scale as the red drum set, but it's not as big/complete. I need to find a hot keyboardist now. I always loved swooning over cute band members when I went to concerts. Somehow being in a band usually made them look even better.
DeleteI thought Max was from the group The Wanted. But anywho I need a this set some of my teens might wanna catch the singing bug!
ReplyDeletejustJay - You are right. Max is from The Wanted. I meant to change that before I went to bed. I had already corrected it on FB. Both sets are highly recommended.
DeleteSeriously, I want to put your mom on my payroll too, I just saw the dessert display! Great find. And the guys should get a band photo done when they find a permanent keyboardist, a poster would look great hanging in my twin teen dolls bedroom ( when I finish it, lol)
ReplyDeleteToni - Isn't the dessert tray nice? There were 3 of those sold together for a little over $2. They will surely come in handy for all these parties my dolls find themselves at. I will keep the poster suggestion in mind. Jay and I are on the hunt for a keyboardist.
DeleteWhen come out their first record? I like everything you have there, dolls and furnitures! I have a Max doll too :)
ReplyDeleteSergio - Well Jay Chou has out many records. He is already well established. I will post one of his YouTube videos in a future post. Congrats on getting Max. I just love him!
DeleteA band, a dance club - Morristown is really rockin'. The strobe lights look good - you will not only have to put your mum on the payroll, you will have to give her a title and put her in the credits of your stories.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - It's important to always have outlets for fun. I need them to be happy. Although Tina likes them a little emotionally unstable. I guess Mom could be prop master. LOL!
DeleteI like how you worked the new Bieber drum set into a story. The couples involved in the band are very cute.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls - Thanks. It coincided with my need to get some of these boxes out of my studio. I'm in major organization mode.
DeleteCool! Great to see the instruments in action. After seeing yours, I ran to ebay to get them. I dunno about that chair, maybe I can manage to bend it straight? Love the strobe lights!!! Concert time!
ReplyDeleteVita Plastica - I think you will enjoy this set. I just checked on the chair. It's designed to take part of the heart parts off.
DeleteIs it just me or does Jay Chau look like the asian Johnny Depp?
ReplyDeletepattidolls - Hmmm? Let me get back to you on that one? I will now have to go study Johnny.
DeleteThey look absolutely awesome with that backdrop!
ReplyDeleteHeather - Thanks! There were a few groupies there, swooning.
DeleteHello from Spain: wow, wow .... how many cute guys you have in your collection. Jay and Kyori forming a cute couple. Musical instruments seem real. I really like this musical essay. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - One can never have enough cute guys. Jay and Kyori will be making more appearances now that he is in town and she isn't traveling as much.
DeleteMax and Jay look GGGGRREEAAATTT! Which body did you use for your Max, please tell ;-D
ReplyDeleteVery cool band. I look forward to hearing and seeing more of them!
D7ana - Thanks! It's nice to finally get Max into the mix. I will get that body info to you. He is currently borrowing Bruce's body.
DeleteMAX and JAY, MAX and JAY, MAX and JAY.......enough said.
ReplyDeleteMustiwait - Well said!
DeleteI enjoyed seeing the guys rehearse. Max is handsome. I like the rugged look.
ReplyDeleteHope Chris's time with Jay's band doesn't interfere with his performances with Kara.
The Bieber accessories are nicely detailed.
Did you style Kyori's hair?
dbg
DBG - Max, Max, Max. That's what I overheard a few of the ladies saying around town.
DeleteChris' band time better not interfere with his daughter's time. I have a feeling she is not going to handle that well.
That is Kyori's original hair style. I wish I could style hair like that. One day.
Great rehearsal! The band looks alive, I could nearly hear the music... but I must confess my fav has been Kyori, she is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - Thanks! Kyori is stunning. I completely understand.
DeleteWow nice! Yeah I add time to whatever my husband says. When I can I tell the cookout person or whoever invites us over to give him the hour later time so I don't have to lie. I like to be on time.
ReplyDeleteKenya - Thanks! Oh the games we have to play to please both parties.
