An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Incredible Devotional
Format: Hardcover
I read Reason for Marriage and it was one of my all time favorite books! Tim Keller was a brilliant author. My husband does not read at all, but I wanted him to experience the value of this book. The devotional has been short enough for him to stay focused and thought provoking enough for him to contribute to the conversation. Really insightful and thoughtful topics. I love that they don’t just breeze through all different topics but dive really deep into each one and spend multiple days digging deeper and deeper. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I chose these women vitamins!!!
I chose these women's vitamins because I don't like swallowing pills much at all and they are easy to swallow,plus they are a great vitamin supplement. Consistency is the key and it's a big bottle which is great for the price. I love these vitamins and I feel the difference in my body. These aren't just vitamins that get urinated out,they are absorbed. Be sure to follow directions for use on the bottle for best results.

Hard to find capsules
Im so glad these are capsules and not gummies (extra carbs) or tablets (does the body even absorb them) Nutrients are getting to the bloodstream quicker.
