Charlotte wearing Juliette Hogan AW2012
Charlotte Ryan's sweet, girl-next-door voice takes me from breakfast to lunch every weekday morning on bfm's Morning Glory.
She's my cool barometer; edgy without being scary, funny without trying, and in person she has an easy, off-beat sense of style that you can't copy, dang it. I love that her playlists range from one musical extreme to another, so you're guaranteed to hear something new on her show. Her potty-mouthed 'fancy new bands' intro never fails to make me laugh, somehow even the f-bomb sounds civilised coming out of her mouth!
I was so excited to interview Charlotte for Bare Beaunz, and she even shouted me a Kokako smoothie while we chatted. Over to you Charlotte...
I just bought...
Last weekend it was International Record
Store Day, so to get behind it I bought two new pieces of vinyl. I got Toy
Love: Live at the Glue Pot, and The Modern
Lovers. I try to buy all my favourites on vinyl, as I love listening to them
that way.
I'm about to buy...
Literally, after this I'm going to the vege shop
to buy Asian greens. I’m really into cooking, and I’m making a Malaysian dish
from Nadia Lim's new cookbook for dinner tonight.
I wish I could buy...
A holiday to Europe with my family and friends.
We'd all go to Greece and the Amalfi Coast, that would be awesome.
When I was a kid I wanted to be...
A singer or a teacher. I’ve sung for years in
choirs and things, but I'm a very shy performer,
which is a problem. I actually started out training to be a teacher, but I
realised two years in that it wasn't what I wanted to do. So, now I educate
people about singers and musicians instead.
I never leave the house without...
My iPhone, a bottle
of water, and my favourite red lipstick of the moment, Topshop ‘Rio’.
If it wasn't so naughty I would...
Eat at restaurants every day. I love Coco
Cantina, The Engine Room, Mexico and pretty much anywhere Japanese.
At home I am usually...
Listening to music or the radio.
Playing Strawberry Shortcakes or having pretend tea parties and
picnics with my 4 year old daughter. Working - I do most of my freelance
work at home, and cooking / gardening - I love cooking a meal or pottering in the
garden to wind down after a busy day.
My fashion sense at school was...
Always in line with my music obsession at the
time. In my early teens, I loved hip hop so
I was really into baggy hip hop pants. Then I moved into liking skateboarding,
and went through a grunge phase - I was
obsessed with Kurt Cobain.
If I had one magic power it would be....
To grant wishes.
The last time I (really) laughed was…
Last weekend, at a friend’s dinner party. There
were eight of us old friends, and it was brilliant - so
much great laughter...and wine.
My secret pleasure is...
Op shopping and finding the untouched gems. I
love driving to The North Shore and having
all the time in the world to fossick through drawers and boxes in second hand
stores.
I'm happiest when...
I’m listening to an amazing album and cuddling my
little daughter. I have been listening to the new Opossum and Lawrence of
Arabia albums over the last week - they are awesome.
If I died tomorrow I would be remembered
for...
Saying ‘Totally’, 'Awesome'
and ‘Yay’.
