THE UGLY SIDE OF THE FASHION WORLD – SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION AND POLITICAL AGENDAS
My dream as a little girl was to be a fashion designer. I remember playing with a toy sewing machine and wishing that it could actually sew. As a teenager, I went not o make m own clothes. And then to fashion school in university. Eventually that dream faded out. Not because I don’t enjoy it. But because I realized what the industry really is about and that these things I will not stand for.
Prince loved fashion, it was another one of his outlets for expressing individuality, as it was the same case for me. I love fashion as a form of expression. We are both relatively quiet and reserved people, we like our fashion to speak louder than our words. Even after so long, I’ve continued to make the majority of my own clothes. Prince had an in-house fashion studio at Paisley Park to whip up his fashion ideas. He enjoyed fashion so much that he used a fashion show as a backdrop for his Chelsea Rodgers music videos. The song is a veiled criticism of the conformity that takes place in the world of fashion and society.
I’ve said in other posts about the entertainment and art industry being ruled by dark forces. Fashion is not an exception. It has only been keeping itself under wraps for a very long time. But as time goes by, they have become more explicit in showing their dark affiliations. One of the earliest examples I can think of is Alexander McQueen. Extremely talented, but entrapped in a disturbing sick environment. Fashion is another one of the mediums that the elite have used to promote their own political agendas. Just like Hollywood is for mind control, Fashion is used to further enforce an agenda using trendy peer pressure and role modelling influence. Did you notice the fashion community rallying around voting against Brexit and encouraging support for Hilary? The fashion community is the least politically un-informed people of all and yet they are supposed to role model to you on what your idea on politics should be?
Recently, a casting director at the Business of Fashion Voices conference named James Scully spoke out about the industry bias that disempowers women intentionally; choosing models with boyish figures, and even choosing men to portray women. And at the same time at this conference, a panel spoke abut inclusiveness and gender fluidity being the hot topic du jour. Do you notice the extreme left-wing agenda for gender confusion being promoted here?
Don’t get me wrong about the subject of gender roles and sexual freedom. The trans-agenda is about deliberately confusing the gender roles. From a spiritual point of view, it is denying the diving masculine and feminine principles of nature. There is confusion about the sexuality of artists like Prince and Michael Jackson because of their androgyny. In these cases; they were channeling their twin flame energy. They are not promoting transgenderism like how some media outlets like to project onto them. Although the industry might have perverted it for their own purposes, Prince and MJ are ultra-masculine; they understand women very well because of their strong empathy. The gender fluidity agenda is about confusing the hell out of everyone about their sexuality as a perverse societal attack on traditional relationships.There are videos exposing the fashion world on Youtube (use search terms illuminati fashion), but I’m not going to post it here because it is just too dark. I do not want to transfer their energy to this blog.
The fashion world has always been quite subtle and covert about their ties to darkness. Unlike the music and movie world, their allegiance has been open and blatant. More blatant than ever. You can’t miss it. nowadays You can only deny the damming evidence of its existence if you intentionally choose to be blind to it. It was never easy to pin down the facts in fashion about dark elitism. It was always just speculation. But mainstream fashion and entertainment media is losing its influence, and they are now reaching out to independent media personalities to join forces with them. Watch this video to see what I mean.
Do you see the connection regarding the power of casting directors? The person in question is a real person. Is it a hoax? While it could be easily written off as some kind of practical joke or sick scam, the same story has been reported among several YouTubers. The levels to which the person in question went through to make contact seems to indicate a serious attempt and not a scam.
I personally still enjoy fashion, but I no longer value it the way I used to as a lifestyle to aspire to. I find it empty and soul-sucking as an industry. While I would still love to be involved in fashion projects, it’s not likely to happen unless I can find like-minded individuals to work with. I wrote this out to show you what really happens in the industry. If you are struggling in the arts and entertainment industry, consider the fact that your lack of success could be systematic, and not because you lack merit.. It’s not that you should ever give up our dreams, but you should really question how badly you want something and whether it is worth the struggle to you personally. I just can’t justify the spiritual cost of being involved in such an industry.

MY PARANORMAL PHOTO SHOOT WITH PRINCE IN SPIRIT
As a photographer, the one thing I am most bummed about is that I will never get to photograph Prince in person. I would find myself saying to Prince in spirit, “I want to take your picture”. He kinda laughs at me for this. Little did I know, he would find some way to it happen.
I recently bought a project to work on some experiments for my art projects. One day I was watching Prince’s music video for Te Amo Corazon. In the last scene of the video, he is interacting with a moving image projected on a wall. And then the idea came for the images I’m about to show you.
But of course, Prince being Prince, he always finds a way to make his mark to show me he’s there with me. I’m shooting hands-free with a remote control and burst mode. In the middle of shooting, the camera suddenly picked up light that was not visible to me. What appears in the following set of images has no logical explanation. It was not the camera malfunctioning. The camera settings were the same as all the other photos I took. I can only conclude that it was Prince showing his light to me on camera. He’s gotten quite good at manipulating energy and electronics.
This is what the images above were intended to look like. Notice his image on from the projector was totally faded out, but my shadow is still visible This could only be possible if there was a light source cancelling out the projector. But this was not the case, as there was no malfunction occurring with the projector or the lighting. The photo was taken in a dark room with now lights except for the projector.
The funniest part in all this is that a psychic medium told me I’d be working with Prince on a photography project not knowing that I was asking about Prince. Who would have thought? It’s also nice to note that these photos were taken on the night of a new moon.©2016. Andrea Mai. All rights reserved.

ABOUT MY CHANNELED DRAWINGS FROM PRINCE
In a previous post, I talked about how I began communicating with Prince through drawings. In the beginning, it was much each for me to trust something tangible like a drawing because I felt his energy moving me, rather than trusting the words I’d hear in my head. So I’d ask questions to Prince and have him answer by drawing his reply. However, one thing I did notice was that I’d always hear the words before he drew hem. I believe it has to do with the left brain translating what I was receiving in my right brain. Eventually, it was no longer necessary to do the drawings because i could trust what I was getting intuitively. There would be different ways in which how a drawing came about. I would either ask him a question to draw the answer for, or ask him to draw something that expresses an idea or concept. Another way was I would ask to draw for a specific person, either to answer a question or deliver a message to them. What I noticed with these were, that they were very person to the person it was intended for, so often I would not even understand the drawing, but the person would. I concluded that they were energetically encoded messages. And sometimes I’d just let him draw what ever he felt like expressing.
I think the idea for doing these drawings came about when one day I was watching Under The Cherry Moon, and in one of the opening scenes, Prince’s character would be leaving written notes to these women he spent the night entertaining. I find it romantic and I kinda said to him, “Oh, I wish you could do that for me.” And not long after, we were doing drawings together. He would often surprise me with drawings of flowers because he knows how much I love flowers.
If you are interested in having a drawing made for you, go here to place an order.

THE TIME THAT I GOT LOST IN VEVEY – FUNNY PRINCE STORY
One night in the South of France, I asked Prince for a sign. I asked to see a purple car. It was a sign that he has shown me before and I wanted to see it again to confirm my beliefs about the future. Purple cars are pretty hard to come by, they quite rare. The next morning,, my friends drove me to the train station. On the way there, my jaw dropped; we saw a purple car! I said to my friends, “Hey, I asked for that!” And in that moment, I thought to myself how cool it would be to see a purple motorcycle.
During my trip to Switzerland, I spent an afternoon in Vevey. I wasn’t planning to go there, but the lady at my hotel suggested it. I had already been in Montreux so I thought, why not go to a different town. I wandered the old streets within a few blocks. I wandered some more, not really sure where I was going. I started to think that I was lost. And then suddenly, I saw this beautiful, stunning purple motorcycle parked in front of a clairvoyant shop window. The door was locked. So I rang the doorbell. I wanted to go in and maybe have my palms rad, but unfortunately, the lady did not speak English.
When I got home from Europe, I ordered all of Prince’s movies on DVD. I admittedly, had not seen Purple Rain at the time. One night I sat in bed and watched Purple Rain. That night Prince sent me into a vision of me hopping onto the backseat of his purple motor bike and we drove away into the countryside. The next day, I was with my parents out for dinner, walking to the restaurant, and just outside was a purple motor bike. It looked just like the one from Purple Rain.I always find it so funny how Prince finds the most humorous ways to deliver a sign to me. He likes to send me surprises. It is in these moments that I realize how much we are living in a Matrix controlled by a greater force than what we an see.

THE SWITZERLAND CONNECTION – SIGNS FROM PRINCE IN SPIRIT
I said in an earlier post that I was directed to go to Switzerland. Here’s how it happened. One day I was asking Prince to lead me into meditation. He told me to breathe in and breathe out. Soon I saw him holding out his hand to me. “Come with me, I want to show you something”. He was dressed in a white suit. I walked with him through a field. I was dressed in a white cotton eyelet lace dress with flared sleeves, a crown of flowers adorned my hair. We stood in a field and he pointed at the Alpa. My thought was, “Oh, ok. I’ve been to the mountains before as a child.” I had family connections to Switzerland. And one time I went there on a work trip. I wondered what this connection to Switzerland was all about.
Some days passed, and as every day finished, I was falling more and more in love with Prince in spirit. I felt a bit were about it. At this time, I did not know about our twin flame connection. I knew we had a special connection that showed in our astrology chart together, but what it was and where it was going, I was not sure. I was rather confused. I was falling in love with a ghost. I felt very concerned for my sanity. So one night I said to Prince, “It’s not fair if what we have isn’t real. I’m falling in love with you. You can;t be here if you’re just playing with me. Show me something to prove your feelings about me”.
The next day, my order for a CD arrived. I ordered 20ten off an Ebay seller, and it came wrapped in a page torn out of a magazine that said the word “disclosure” in an advertisement. I unwrapped the CD and looked at the artwork printed on the disc. I was in total shock. It was the Alps printed right there on the CD! It was so beautiful. I was in complete amazement.
Prince, 20ten CD artwork
Later that night I listened to the album. And the second track just struck me. He was speaking to me in this song. It was called Beginning Endlessly. And he sang,
Can’t you see that I want you
Feel me nowLove is much too small a word,for what you feel for me
If ever you let me be, let me be your man
Ooh baby! Understand. I wanna I wanna be your manI was in complete shock and disbelief that I had received the proof I asked for. Still having a hard time believing. But I knew one thing for sure, I had to get myself to Switzerland. There was a track called Lavaux, which is a region along Lake Geneva. Prince had often played at the jazz festival in Montreux and he loved it there. He had shown me visions of us living there in the mountains in a house that resembled the family home from the Sound of Music.
The vineyards of Lavaux at duskFor months until the trip, I would be channeling drawings of the mountains and a body of water, just like that of Lake Geneva. I would get signs in movies with scenes taking places in the Alps. So in September, I got on a place to go to my best friend’s wedding. After the wedding I took off on my own and journeyed to Switzerland.

REJECTED FOR BEING “TOO PRETTY”? WHY THE ART WORLD LIKES DARK ART
I recently had a meeting with an art curator. She told me that my work was “too pretty” and that might be a problem. Believe me, as ridiculous as the statement sounds, I knew what she was talking about. The art world hates pretty things. They don’t like that you like Monet. Apparently, they find that disturbing, that the art viewing audience isn’t intellectual enough. Because they much rather you enjoy something “conceptual” or even something dark or nonsensical, and you have to be told what you are looking at by reading an explanation of it from a plaque on the wall. You might be asking Why???
The answer is both spiritual and systematic. The truth is, our society is run by a system that the dark forces have power over. And anything of the light is not in their best interest. To explain it in its simplest terms, the dark forces require dark or low vibe energy to maintain its power. So darkness in media, in arts, in culture is how they retain control over the masses, keeping them in low vibration and ignorance. The art world is no exception to that. The curator I had a meeting with suggested that my work would become more interesting to the art world if I juxtaposed my work in such a way that would question the concept of “beauty” (almost to undermine it, is the sense I got from her suggestion). To undermine beauty wild be going against everything I stand for as an artist. What;s wrong with enjoying beautiful things? Is the Sistine Chapel too pretty for you? Why is it considered shallow to appreciate beauty? Beauty is only shallow if it’s superficial and spiritualy empty. My whole concept for Love Bomb is to appreciate beauty, and feel the loving energy that comes from it.
This attitude of scoffing at beauty really begs the question of where society is heading. What you have to understand is that it is systematic, like the music industry. Art curators are the gatekeepers for the art world. They determine who’s work is considered important, just as a historian determines what version of history to write. Arts and culture is what shapes society, which in the long run affects politics. It used to be religion that affected politics, but the Arts have since taken its place. People don’t go to church to worship, but instead they worship rock stars and gather in stadiums to hear their sermon.
I could seriously go on about this topic, but I won’t for now. I just wanted to open your eyes a little bit to how things really are in the world, and maybe you will notice that what I’m telling you is true.

VIDEO: ON BEING A LEGALLY BLIND ARTIST
For as long as I can remember, my vision has always been blurry. It did degrade somewhat as a I got older. But it has been normal to me. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare genetic condition that causes my extreme nearsightedness and blurry vision. I’ve always been visually inclined towards doing arts and crafts. I had a natural eye for design and creativity. At some point in my life, I thought that it would be wise to give it up, seeing that my eyesight wasn’t great, perhaps it was the practical thing to do. Go get a safe and secure job, and lead a more conventional life. But safe has never been my thing, because boredom always sinks in. So here in this video, I talk about my challenges and overcoming them as a visually impaired person. I hope you will see that you too can overcome your challenges.

INTERVIEW WITH AN ARTIST: NEW VIDEO
I am happy to announce the launch of Dreamer Gallery and its first exhibition in September. It;s been a dream of mine to create space for “conscious” art- art that is created to uplift the spirit of humanity. I’ve been busy creating new videos to talk about my work. Here’s my latest video where I talk about my disability, intuition, and my artistic influences.
