Abstract
As one of most famous circus performers in early twentieth-century American culture, Betty Broadbent's extreme appearance mirrored other tattooed performers at time. However, Fabiani explores ways that Broadbent deviated from common social and cultural practices of tattooed circus women by resisting sexual objectification, breaking from boundaries of freak show stage, and rejecting captivity narratives. Broadbent's circus career spanned four decades, but this article focuses on peak of her popularity from her debut in 1927 to outbreak of World War II. This essay identifies Broadbent as a unique case within her subculture in an effort to critically deconstruct social context of negative stigmas and gendered normativity that dominated American tattooing practices at time. Employing a vast primary source base, Fabiani demonstrates that Broadbent really was the lady who's different.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
