CHARLOTTE CROWNED HIGH STREET HONEY 09
After several months of tireless campaigning, loads of photo shoots, and a LOT of time spent on facebook, Cornish model Charlotte Thomson has finally been announced as the winner of FHM’s High Street Honeys 2009. She made it to the finals of the competition as the only girl representing the South West, beating off competition from thousands of other models across the UK. We’re proud to have worked with Charlotte on a fashion shoots in the past, and she’s been on the front cover of 247 twice! We caught up with the 22 year old as she celebrated her win…
How do you feel now that you’ve been announced as the winner of FHM High Street Honeys 2009?
I am overwhelmed, can’t believe how supportive everyone has been, especially in Cornwall. It hasn’t sunk in yet; I’m still in shock! I’m just so happy, never for one minute did I think I could have won it.
What’s next for you?
I have a few things in the pipeline! You’ll have to keep an eye on me! I had a TV presenting shoot with Dizzee Rascal last week which was so much fun, that will be on TV soon.
What are your hopes for your modelling career in the future?
I’m really not sure, I don’t want to get my hopes up, so I’m just taking every day as it comes. I don’t want to be pigeonholed as a glamour model, I want to be able to do fashion, beauty, a bit of everything!
Are you going to stay in Cornwall or is London calling?
At the moment I have a really good balance, I’m in London a few days of the week, then come back to spend time with my family and friends so its great. If I get busier then I’ll just see what happens, but I wont move away permanently, I love Cornwall too much!
Any shout outs?
My god this could be a long list!! The people I REALLY want to thank are Bjorn Thomassen, my photographer who has helped me and given me so much support since I was 16. Also Nigel from Atlantic FM, who has been amazing in promoting me on his show and helping me to get votes. Fighters Only magazine, Cornwall’s Coolest, The Barn Club in Penzance… The list of people I want to thank is endless. Mainly though I want to thank everyone that voted for me, my mum, my friends (especially my best mate Georgia!!) and my lovely boyfriend Jack, couldn’t have done it without them!
Congratulations Charlotte, and good luck in the future.
