The Pima County Tucson Women’s Commission is proud to present Joanna Frueh and her debut performance of The Glamour of Being Real as part of our Last Saturdays Women’s House Concert Series. February 25, 2012 at 7 p.m. at the Commission building 240 N. Court Ave., Tucson. $5 donations benefit the Commission. Books will be available for sale at the performance for $10 each.
Joanna Frueh is a renowned performance artist, author, scholar, art historian and critic. She has written and contributed to many books over the decades published with academic presses (most recently, Clairvoyance, published by Duke University). The Glamour of Being Real is Joanna’s first self-published book, composed of 209 aphorisms intended as a sutra about beauty and health. Frueh draws from her personal experience and knowledge as a healthy and well- informed woman, yogi and meditator to joyfully and playfully share beauty and inspiration with all people in all walks of society. Information about Joanna and the new book are at http://www.joannafrueh.com/projects/glamour.php and http://www.joannafrueh.com/bio.php - One reader wrote: ”
It is Amazing. We will be talking about this for the rest of our lives. I’m just sorry I didn’t have this to read when I was, say, 30 years old. It would have been life-altering.”

For this debut performance of The Glamour of Being Real, Kathleen Williamson will compose and perform accompanying instrumental music.
