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 lasted over a week- amazing for the fogzilla!
Size: Large, Color: Monkey - Green
There is no dog toy that can survive big puppies with strong jaws and sharp teeth, but the squeaker lasted a week and the arms/ legs are still intact. She's still playing with it, so I'm impressed.

Dye comes off. Stained hands and dog fur.
Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color, Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color
Literally dyed my hand and my dogs fur blue from the paint coming off immediately after opening the box. I have washed my hand multiple times and it’s still this color. I have given up on my dog’s fur. I’m assuming whatever it was wasn’t great for her to digest.

Not chew proof but great for stimulating your dog!
Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color, Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color
8 legs gone in one night! Haha to be expected because my dog is a heavy chewer. Like other costumers we are left with a blue ball which she still plays with. It’s a great toy for days that my dog really needs to get energy out. She was so tired after, she was panting like she ran for miles. I suggest combining physical exercise with things like purposeful chewing or licking toys to tired them out. Doing this has reduced my dog’s anxiety tremendously over the years therefore reducing destruction of our furniture 😅 a tired pup is a happy pup!

It’s not for a big dog with large teeth
Size: Large, Color: Rabbit
The dogs Already chew its nose off Didn’t last 2 days. We are trying to sew it up. It will probably end up in the trash Thought this bunny is very cute. I’d only buy it for children to play with it. Or maybe a tiny dog.
