On August 9th, Kamy was interviewed by Oregon Public Radio.

Julia Taylor, host of “51%,” an hour long show about issues of concern to women that airs on NPR stations throughout the Northeastern United States, interviewed Kamy about “I Do But I Don’t.”

Jessica Stockton, the events coordinator at McNally Robinson (a fabulous independent bookstore in Nolita), contacted Kamy to say that “I Do But I Don’t” had been a crucial resource for her in planning her summer ‘07 wedding, and offered to host Kamy’s dream panel at the bookstore with other authors who had written about women and weddings. The event came together with a fabulous group of women: Elise MacAdam, longtime contributor to Indiebride, author of the Indietiquette blog in addition to her blog Indiemom, and one of the contributors to the excellent anthology Altared: Bridezillas, Bewilderment, Big Love, Breakups, and What Women Really Think about Contemporary Weddings (which Kamy blurbed); Jill Eisenstadt, whose essay “Sex on the Wedding Night” also appeared in Altared; and Vicki Howard, author of “Brides, Inc.: American Weddings and the Business of Tradition.” In the end, the only person missing was Kamy, who fifteen minutes beforehand scratched her cornea with her hairdryer trying to blow her curly hair straight on a humid New York night. So rather than participating in her dream panel she spent the evening in the emergency room crying from disappointment but mostly from excruciating pain. If you want to read more about Kamy’s obsession with blowdrying her hair straight you will have to wait for the publication of the anthology she recently contributed to about women confronting the way they look…or refusing to accept it by beating their curly hair to death with a hairdryer.

WPA, as it’s known to its listeners (not to be confused with a certain government program that produced murals by Diego Rivera and other great works of public art) recently featured a thirty-minute interview with Kamy that was lively, funny, and thoughtful. Host Ralph Mucci asked lots of good questions. The easiest way to listen is to click here. But you if you subscribe to itunes you can also get the show off itunes from the Wedding Planning Audiocast download. Just go to “podcasts,” search for it, it’s under “wedding potpurri.”

On June 10th, Kamy appeared on the local CBS morning show in New York to discuss “I Do But I Don’t.” TO WATCH THIS SHOW on our nifty new “kamywicoff.com” player, click HERE.

In the past weeks Kamy did an interview with The Lifestyle Talk Radio Network on The Michael Dresser show, and with the CBC in Canada (the equivalent of NPR here in the States) on “Radio Noon Montreal” with Anne Lagace Dowson. If you have a Real Audio player, you can listen to the Monday, June 4th show here. The topic was a complicated one: “Is it better to be married or single?” Impossible to answer but interesting to discuss…

With a new subtitle, about which I am thrilled: “Why the Way We Marry Matters.” So much truer to the content and spirit of the book than the more “how-to” sounding “Walking Down the Aisle Without Losing Your Mind.” Check out the new cover–and buy it cheaper for book clubs, etc.–at Amazon. Every click to the paperback helps it come up higher on Amazon’s list, so click away!
