I met Rosanna Lee ("Rosie") through Jeremy Eric Tenenbaum. Mr. Tenenbaum had his own New York operations going, and met Rosie on one of his NYC sojourns. They became very tight very fast. The night I met Rosie for the first time, in the fall of '06, was at a First Friday gallery opening in Olde City Philly, where Jeremy happened to be showing. He also did a photo montage slide show that night set to music: lots of Beautiful South. Included in the slide show were several tasteful nude shots of Rosie. Interesting way, and place, to meet someone. She was considerably closer to Jeremy, but I stayed in touch with Rosie, too. Besides having her twice on P.F.S. Post, I read with her in '08 at the Fall Cafe in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. She was an elusive character, but another key player in the Aughts Philly-NYC dynamic.
