In this week’s 3rd installation of our new series, Getting Dressed: An Act of Self Love, brought to you by Mad Hippie, harpist, dancer, producer, singer and siren Elsz reveals the loss of self that they endured during an abusive relationship and how breaking free catalyzed a rebirth that has them reclaiming their body and resurrecting their spirit. Elsz’s transformation sparkles in the album they are releasing this year (which dives into their story of abuse and its cycles), their comfort in being alone, the relationships they’re now attracting that mirror the glory of their new-found self-worth, and in a self-expression through style that honors their Sri Lankan roots while taking back a once-shackling colonial clothing and making it their own. Elsz is raising money for their album on Kickstarter. To support them go to this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
