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.

It hits your heart in vulnerable and needed places.
Format: Paperback
I believe our greatest desire to be loved is fulfilled through being heard, seen and fully known. Oh how we long for that. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith knows this need in women’s lives and writes about it to encourage others because she has lived it. I love how she weaves Biblical truths with personal stories to create deep understanding and insight. But she doesn’t leave us there; she challenges us so gently, practically and wisely move into being fully known. Saundra is a master with words that draw us in to see ourselves in a beautiful and intimate relationship with our creator. The only ONE who truly knows us. Whether you’ve been a Christ follower for over 50 years or just discovering who Jesus is, this book will inject new hunger and depth into your spiritual soul.

Finding your sacred work & place of belonging
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book has spoken directly to my heart as I read about beholding the blessings of God's unfailing & faithful love, His true joy, His sovereignty & peace, His kindness & compassion & His pure goodness as I pursue holiness & righteousness. I found the practical application & daily unveiling exercises to be helpful as I work to become what I behold God to be. The section on belonging spoke personally to me as I have chosen the word "Belonging" as my Word of the Year for 2025. I now realize that only through belonging in God's abundant blessings in every aspect of my life will I find my sacred work & my true place of belonging to God & with others. I recommend this book if you are searching for true meaning in truly & fully knowing God, yourself & your place of belonging.

Another sacred work by Dr. Saundra
Format: Paperback
I love this woman's writings, and Being Fully Known did not disappoint. My book is filled with underlining and marginal stars. It helped me more fully understand the sacred work that God is doing through me and humble me in the process. Highly recommended.
