The first book of its kind, The Tattooed Ladyuncovers the true stories behind these women. Combining thorough research with more than a hundred historical photos, labor history, circus life, and the marked impression left on contemporary performers,The Tattooed Lady pays tribute to these unique and remarkable women.
Amelia Klem Osterud is an academic librarian from Milwaukee who is working diligently on becoming heavily tattooed,  just in case she ever wants a second career as a tattooed lady. Osterud has a master's degree in history from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and writes and lectures on the subject of tattooing. She is the author of A Life of Her Own Choosing: Artoria Gibbons: Fifty Years as a Tattooed Lady, published in the Wisconsin Magazine of History in 2006. Osterud is always planning her next tattoo.

Woodland Pattern's Annual Open House Featuring Hours For Jerome, Part One & Two A Film By Nathaniel Dorsky ( 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm )
| 13th Annual Open House - 2009 |
|
|
Sunday, December 13, 1-5pm FREE TO THE PUBLIC
13th ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE & FILM
Come to Woodland Pattern for FREE Drinks, Food, Conversation and a Film!
Nathaniel Dorsky's Hours For Jerome, Part One & Two Film Screening at 2pm
WOODLAND PATTERN EXPERIMENTAL FILM & VIDEO SERIES
Presented by the UWM Film Department
Come celebrate another year with Woodland Pattern at our Annual Open House on Sunday, December 13th! As always, there will be baked goodies, beverages, good conversation, and plenty of books to browse for your last minute holiday shopping. As part of the Open House, we will be showing a film by Nathaniel Dorsky at 2pm.
Hours for Jerome (as in a Book of Hours) is an arrangement of images, energies, and illuminations from daily life. These fragments of light revolve around the four seasons: Part One is spring through summer; Part Two is fall and winter.
Hours for Jerome is simply the most beautifully photographed film that I've ever seen; here we enter the realm of the compassionate and the full achievement of what film can do cinemagraphically is achieved. It is a privilege to experience the thoughtful unfolding of these images.
