So here is Hyacinth the Barbarian (aka Iplehouse Raffine) in a wine-colored Destiny wig. It's a big hair look and the darker color makes her look a lot livelier than the previous blonde wig. Cat made her dress, which looks a little like something Red Sonja would wear to the Oscars. It's a good look for Hyacinth, though it could use a belt. She does have shoes: The camera lens made her look a bit squashed here, sadly; but you can see her shoes. Here's the giant mallet Sicktress made for her--great for bopping dragons or playing croquet, whatever is on the schedule for the day. I do need to swap one hand for a "sword hand" which I have since Iplehouse sells them as a standalone item. :D

I sold my original Aurora to someone who wanted to make a Vanessa Ives doll (from Penny Dreadful), which sounded so fantastic I was happy to help; but then I didn't have a Hyacinth the Barbarian here anymore. Hyacinth is a sort of mashup between Elle Woods from Legally Blonde and Red Sonja, and she is just a lot of fun to make things for, so I did want to replace her.  Then Iplehouse had the Haute Couture sale, so I bought a Raffine with the Aurora money (I am not sure Iplehouse really intended people to buy the girls without their outfits, but she went into my cart with no problem). She's quite beautiful, but I am not sure yet I am used to her as Hyacinth. But since I have seen so few owner photos of Raffine, here are a few more: (That is the default Iplehouse faceup by the way, it's gorgeous!)

Check out her tattoo (and jewelry). If you want to see a mockup of the gray and ebony versions, go here .

Here is the New Iplehouse EID honey hiding on Iplehouses' Flickr , and she has a description in the IpleBjd section of their website (you need to be logged in). FOMA is apparently a bjd jewelry line--they have been making jewelry all along, and now they are making it an official "thing" they do--I assume they will have other distributors for it if they went ahead and gave the line it's own name. Also as of 9/18 you can order her in Ebony, with a gold tattoo: Here is Gray, as a photoshop: And the Ebony, with Lahela as a ref--I think the real thing will look better:
