Watching Laura Shapiro dance to "I Want Candy" was one of the highlights of prom for me. There was some serious joy there.

Hell yes.

Oh, shit, I forgot to put in my post the part where you have awesome hair. I'll go do that right now because I doubt many people have read it yet.

Honestly, that blows me away. I have never, even for a moment, thought of my hair as approaching anything near the level of awesome. My hair and I mutually agree to coexist, and that works for us. So thank you!

As I mention, I basically love your entire look. The full amyth aesthetic.

Seconded!

Loving the pics of everyone. Tom Scola and Fay, in particular, took some amazing pictures.

Everyone's pics are marvelous, a lovely way to hang onto all the foamy and funny and snark. Fay's, however, are made golden by her captioning. Curses! Someone who's seen behind me affable facade!

Pretty, pretty people. Where peeps go? (snif)

Also? The whole "how you pronounce amyth and amych" discussion? I have no rationale for my "ammitch" preference, but my pronunciation of amyth is simply short for amethyst.

I pronounce it 'ammitch'. Because that's what it looks like. And 'ammith'. Ditto. .

To me, words ending in ch (but not tch), look like transliterated Hebrew. So that's how I pronounce Amych.

I am with Fay, though I suspect with a longer A sound at the beginning.

I pronounce them both with a long a sound at the beginning.

The pictures are fantastic.
