The only way to fix this is to get all my followers to unfollow then refollow me.<br />
So if you do a blog post on behalf of me, directing anyone who was once following vendettaxx.blogspot.com to come over to blackdresslove.blogspot.com to unfollow & refollow me, then I will put you in the giveaway 5 times.<br />
<br />
I've spent 2 years getting my blog to where it is and it's so disappointing to think that my followers can no longer see me.</span><br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
I have made a lot of changes this year, both blog related and real life related.<br />
I've been feeling really good lately and I want to share the love and do a giveaway to celebrate all the good things that have been going on.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
I've been wanting to do a giveaway for awhile but couldn't think of the perfect prize, then it came to me, nail polish!<br />
The reason being, I've been on a huge nail polish kick lately, especially glitter.<br />
Ohh how I love glitter polish.<br />
It's totally worth the annoyingly long time it takes to remove.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

On Saturday March 10, Nick and I had our engagement party.<br />
It was held at my parents house and was very laid back.<br />
[I'm saving all the fancy stuff for the wedding.]<br />
I hired a photographer and I have to say, totally worth it.<br />
She got some fantastic shots.<br />
I won't post all of the photo's as I don't want to intrude on all my guests privacy and some faces might be blanked out for the same reason.<br />
I also threw in some of the edited photos.<br />
Oh, and the photos are in a completely random order for some reason.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Louise, myself & Melanie.<br />
<br />
There are a lot more photos but my computer kept freezing and this is as far as I got with the picture uploads so this is all I'm doing.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a fantastic night.<br />
There were a few inappropriate comments but if that's the worst thing that happened then I'm a pretty happy girl.<br />
I may or may not do a post going in to further detail about the night, but I'm not sure. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Would any of you be interested in reading that?<br />
<br />
The specifics;<br />
Dress; Sophia [Bought at a local boutique]<br />
Shoes; Windsor Smith<br />
Make up; Pout Cosmetics<br />
MUA; Tara @ Pout Cosmetics<br />
Hair; Myself [Can't you tell? haha]<br />
Necklace; Michael Hill<br />
Nail polish; OPI Divine Swine<br />
Photographer; Chelsea @ Proof of Life Photography<br />
<br />
Just a side note; I know that my bra is WAY to visible. I actually had the perfect bra laid out to take with me to my parents house [I got ready there] but I totally forgot to take it and by the time I realised it was too late.<br />
<br />
<br />
ETA; I just looked over all the photos and have realised that all the photos feature maybe 10 people.<br />
We had about 100 guests but I really don't want to invade their privacy as I don't know how they'd feel about being featured on my blog.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the photos!<br />

<br />
Once when I was 16, my mum busting me smoking out my bedroom window.<br />
Louise was next to me sharing my cigarette and spraying perfume insisting it would cover the smell.<br />
She was there the day Nick asked me to be his girlfriend.<br />
She was there for me when my mum had a heart attack.<br />
She was there with me for all my teenage fashion faux pas, from my goth phase, to my blonde phase.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Neither of us are huge on emotion, but I just wanted to put it out there how amazing she is and how lucky I am to have her.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">She has been by my side through absolutely everything in the last 9 years.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">She knows me like nobody else and we share an unbreakable bond.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In terms of being my maid of honour, I know that no better person exists for the job.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">She has bought me bridal magazines, started her own wedding planner, accompanied me to bridal fairs, looked at wedding dresses/shoes with me, helped me research the reputation of various companies, calmed me down when I'm angry or upset, done her own research, booked appointments, given me ideas and has generally been the best friend a person could ask for.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Louise is my maid of honour, but she will also be the godmother of any children I have.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It feels amazing to know that I literally have a friend for life.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can see us having neighbouring rooms in a nursing home when we're 80.</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Where it all began...</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJsqRHX-HFejl88xVULo8QWVctL4Pw0qRdjLTGv3NIyWHknAZM0TJFWDWzL5M4LBLBVOzXBi9_zcTigkfREUggXQhtDjqnO9CgHY1jLE2kvN9tgbPLkgHeyiz9SFdRzJ-b02Cn47rNvY/s1600/paige+and+louise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJsqRHX-HFejl88xVULo8QWVctL4Pw0qRdjLTGv3NIyWHknAZM0TJFWDWzL5M4LBLBVOzXBi9_zcTigkfREUggXQhtDjqnO9CgHY1jLE2kvN9tgbPLkgHeyiz9SFdRzJ-b02Cn47rNvY/s640/paige+and+louise.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />

It makes sense to us.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope that everyone is lucky enough to have a best friend like mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There really is nothing like it.<br />

I'm not sure why I look like I have jaundice in the above photo...<br />
I cannot for the life of me remember where this dress is from but I love it!<br />
Only problem is, that embellishment on the front is quite heavy and as a result drags the front of the top down so I constantly have to be on boob patrol<br />

This is from 2 days ago.<br />
It has been quite cold & really rainy so I had to wear pants for the first time in ages.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love the detail on these jeans and they were such a bargain!<br />
On sale from $129 to $22 at Myer.<br />
Score!<br />

If you live in Victoria, you should feel passionate about it too.<br />
<br />
Nursing is a truly heroic career. I don't care if you disagree.<br />
Our nurses are being overworked and underpaid, and run ragged.<br />

Please support our nurses. This issue affects everyone!<br />

Nurses are taking carefully organized, 4 hour industrial action which leaves wards with the SAME STAFFING RATIOS that The Ballieu Government is proposing.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></div><div style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The government thinks these ratios are fine, in fact it's what they are pushing for.<br />
<br />
Yet - when nurses strike they say we compromise patient care. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Commandant of Auschwitz by Rudolf Hoess</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The blurb:<br />
'This book is filled with evil...it has no literally quality and reading it is agony', comments Primo Levi in his introduction. 'The author comes across as what he is; a coarse, stupid, arrogant, long winded scoundrel'. And yet '...it is one of the most instructive books ever published'. Rudolf Hoess was Commandant of Auschwitz during the war. Taken prisoner by the British he was ordered to write his autobiography in the weeks between his trial and his execution.<br />
This is it.<br />
<br />
An extraordinary and unique document: Hoess was in charge of the huge extermination camp in Poland where the Nazis murdered some three million Jews, from the time of it's creation(he was responsible for building it) in 1940 until late 1943, by which time the mass exterminations were half completed. Before this he has worked in other concentration camps, and afterwards he was at the Inspectorate in Berlin. He thus knew more, both first-hand and as an administrator, about Nazi Germany's greatest crime than almost anyone. Captured by the British, he was handed over to the Poles, tried, sentenced to death, and taken back to Auschwitz and there hanged.<br />
<br />
The royalties from this macabre but historically important book go to the fund set up to help the few survivors of Auschwitz camps.<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
<br />
I'm fascinated by Hitler's regime. Not in an 'I think it was good way' but in an 'I don't understand how any of this could actually happen' way.<br />
<br />
I've never seen a book like this before so I was very excited to see it and start reading it.<br />
<br />
The book is introduced by someone called Primo Levi and he basically gives us a brief history of Rudolf Hoess and examines some of Rudolf's writing and poor attempts at pleading ignorance.<br />
It's also stated by Primo, that this book published in German (it's original text, obviously) has bits and pieces taken out due to 'squeamishness', the English version is the only book that presents Rudolf's autobiography in it's entirety.<br />
<br />
I'm only up to page 79 but so far I'm disgusted. The book is chilling and revolting but very interesting at the same time.<br />
<br />
For example, It is stated that mass killings in Nazi Germany by officers in the SS that resulted in blood baths, lowered team morale and often lead to suicide.<br />
Apparently there was the need to 'exterminate' the 'guilty people' (ie. Jews, Jehovah's Witness's etc) without there being any actual bloodshed. It needed to be clean so that it didn't mess with the SS officers heads.<br />
Rudolf Hoess is the man responsible for the gas chambers.<br />
It was he, who decided they could use the chemical used to kill rats and cockroaches, on their fellow man.<br />
The people being 'exterminated' were put in the gas chambers, the toxic chemical was placed in the air vents of the chamber and there you go.<br />
Mass killings.<br />
Clean mass killings.<br />
<br />
It's absolutely sickening but very curious.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to recommend this book because I know it's not to everyone's taste but like I said, this kind of thing intrigues me.<br />
I love history.<br />
<br />
I hope no one thinks I'm a nutbag!<br />

There is a small area in front of the already set tables, and a small area to the left for more tables and also the door to the outdoor area.<br />
<br />
And can you see the hideous shield and two swords in the background of this photo?<br />
Yuck!<br />

Apologies for the blurry photo.<br />
This is what the venue looks like as soon as you walk through the doors, the burst of light is the outdoor area and as you can see slightly to the right is the dance floor.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6cIV7mXGG_7FX-uMzraT8cM0UhdkDngB1jP3Yd8yhRFPLmFxF150q51L1UzBqUwIzbRf5SC1RGHcTd8B2CV25TASws-ta69NljiXf7MauRCMu-Nf8uDbJb44ZB7XyzG0e-gIPoXYjVQ/s1600/IMG_0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6cIV7mXGG_7FX-uMzraT8cM0UhdkDngB1jP3Yd8yhRFPLmFxF150q51L1UzBqUwIzbRf5SC1RGHcTd8B2CV25TASws-ta69NljiXf7MauRCMu-Nf8uDbJb44ZB7XyzG0e-gIPoXYjVQ/s640/IMG_0924.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Now this confuses the hell out of me!<br />
For a second, let's ignore how small the dance floor is.<br />
THAT IS THE BAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF THOSE STRANGELY PLACED CHAIRS.<br />
WHY IS THE BAR SO FREAKING CLOSE TO THE DANCE FLOOR?<br />
Imagine having to fight your way through the dancing people to get a drink and then more than likely get knocked by somebody and end up wearing your drink.<br />
Seriously.<br />
<br />
This place was a complete DISASTER.<br />
<br />
The decor is absolutely hideous.<br />
I imagine a reception venue to be a sort of blank canvas so that you can decorate the way you want.<br />
I'm leaning towards a purple theme and this room is completely red and medevil!<br />
A purple theme in this room would clash.<br />
<br />
And that's just the beginning.<br />
<br />
The events coordinator gave me a booklet with prices and details.<br />
I noticed there was a room that seated 120 guests, [the room Louise and I were standing in could fit no more than 60 at the absolute most. Even 60 people would have been squished like sardines.]<br />
<br />
I asked the events coordinator if I could please see the room that seats 120 and her answer?<br />
EC: 'This is the room"<br />
Me: 'This room seats 120 people?'<br />
EC: Well.. 100ish...'<br />
Me: 'Uhm, alright then..'<br />
<br />
Talk about false advertising!<br />
And the events coordinator just would not leave us alone.<br />
<br />
There was some crazy lady who was apparently a celebrant that kept berating me with questions.<br />
How many times do I need to say that I am having a church wedding with a PRIEST before you get the message you crazy cat lady?!<br />
<br />
So frustrating!<br />
<br />
Safe to say I will never enter The Manor House again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Here goes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">- My name is Paige.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">- I can't stand being called Paigey or any variant. I also can't stand any jokes about pages in books. I have heard them all before and they get less and less amusing.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
- I'm short, 155cm to be exact<br />
- I have black hair (naturally mousey brown) and it's getting quite long.<br />
- I wear glasses<br />
- I'm engaged<br />
- I'm a self confessed nerd, I love reading and I love playing old video games<br />
- I have two older (and very protective) brothers, Jordan(25) and Ryan(23).<br />
- I'm very close to my mother<br />
- I'm getting married on September 7, 2013 which also happens to be my 7 year anniversary with the boy<br />
- My best friend and maid of honour is Louise. You will probably hear about her frequently.<br />
- I spent last year doing an Aged Care course and I hated it. I only stuck it out because I honestly had no idea what career I was looking for and aged care is basically a guarunteed job.<br />
- I'm hoping to go to university to become a Registered Nurse, specialising in sexual health.<br />
- My fiancee is a slaughterman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">- I am currently self-employed but will be looking for a job in aged care shortly.<br />
- I have two cats and I absolutely adore them. <br />
- Last year, I had surgery for the first time in my life (That's a long story for another day).<br />
- I love Tim Burton movies.<br />
- I pride myself on being polite, respectful and considerate and I thank my parents for raising me with the morals that I have.<br />
<br />
And that sums up me...sort of.</span>paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10113089529028054297noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551716862988792058.post-63441500642533186952012-02-10T08:07:00.000+11:002012-02-10T08:07:22.527+11:00new beginning<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have deleted a lot of my old posts.<br />
I was reading through them recently and I feel like they aren't really 'me' anymore.<br />
Some would probably think it's a good idea to leave them there so I could look back on how I've grown as a person but honestly, I just found some of them embarassing!<br />
<br />
So welcome to my new and improved blog.<br />
Paige, 2.0.<br />
I will be blogging more frequently about everyday things and documenting my wedding planning process in detail.<br />
<br />
To celebrate everything that's been going on lately, I will be doing a giveaway in the coming week.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've really missed blogging but I have just been so busy lately that I can barely spare a second to write a post.<br />
<br />
What I've been up to since my last blog;<br />
I've been in crazy wedding mode.<br />
- I went dress shopping with my mum and best friend yesterday and I tried on some amazing dresses. You're not supposed to take photos in a bridal store for copyright reasons but Louise managed to get a few on the sly. I'm undecided about whether to post them or not.<br />
- The whole guest list thing is driving me insane and I am only up to the engagement party!<br />
Nick's parents had a very bitter divorce about 10 years ago and the two sides of his family hold a lot of animosity towards each other and there are a few family members that are not afraid to cause a scene. Throw some alcohol in to the mix and the situation will quickly escalate.<br />
I am quite literally scared of my own engagement party for this reason.<br />
- Nick and I have decided to do all our wedding invitations, engagment invitations, place cards, rsvp cards etc ourselves so that we can get exactly what we want and not spend a fortune.<br />
I made up some save the date cards and engagement invitations yesterday and they look really nice if I do say so myself but printing them is turning out to be an issue so we went and bought a printer today. Way to save money, hey?<br />
<br />
Other than wedding stuff, there has been a fair amout drama going on in my life. I won't go in to any detail as it's highly personal but it's the main reason I've been MIA on the blog front.<br />
<br />
I finally recieved my certificate for the course I finished last September (about time!) so will hopefully have a new job very soon!<br />
<br />
I'm going to go back and study this year, I've got my sights set on pathology.<br />
<br />
I did a post a few months back about Demi, my future brother-in-law's cat that we took in, yeah well, she's still here.<br />
I got so attached to her and Nick's brother said that because she settled in with us then it would be cruel to move her again.<br />
She is absolutely beautiful, her wound has healed perfectly and she is very well behaved.<br />
She follows me around like a dog and likes to chew on all our electrical cords, which is proving to be very hard to deal with lol but we are saving lots of energy by turning everything off at the powerpoint now!<br />
Demi gets along incredibly well with our other cat and they always snooze together on the foot of our bed.<br />
<br />
---------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
And that's my update for now.<br />
I will post again soon.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This church holds a lot of sentimental value as my parents got married here and so did my grandparents.<br />
It feels amazing to keep the tradition going, I hope that if I have a daughter, she chooses to get married here as well.<br />
