Since I did a series with Luna the EID, I thought it would be fun to do a posing series with Ivy the NYID. Ivy is an Iplehouse Eva, and she is normally sold on the Senior Iplehouse Body (SID), but I think her previous owner bought her through Doll Choice, or as a Special (Ivy is Realskin) and Iplehouse  put her on the NYID body instead. It's a very successful combination, and I think the first owner would have kept her except that somehow she turned very green in spots (you can see the difference between her shins and her feet--the previous owner just had her in heel feet.). Since here Ivy is an elf, green is awesome! I do need to blush those feet olive to match. She is also very, very loose, so I wasn't sure she would hold poses at all. I am happy to say I was wrong. :D (This one is a slight cheat, she is leaning against the board, and I didn't notice until I went to move her). No one is touching their toes here, either--the Iple girls are just not design...

Sharnofshade wants to get her Benmore hooves on her old Amber body. I am doubtful, because the tops of the Benmore hooves aren't round, like the Amber hip pockets are. But with some fooling around, they might be made to fit. The Benmore hooves are huge, though, almost as tall as the Iplehouse New Youth Body I am going to try to attach them to. I chose this body because the hip pockets are big and Iplehouse has switched to the practice of having the hip pivot point be inside the pelvis, instead of using hip slots on the thighs for the string to move through. Here is a diagram of the Iplehouse stringing -- I think this is standard now on the SID bodies as well: The Iplehouse body depends on a series of ratchets to keep the hip stable rather than the friction of the string. I don't like this system at all. It's fussy..and NOISY. However, the Benmore hooves will allow the string to go from the top of the thigh into the pelvis hole without having to use the Soom hip piece,...
