Reykjavík Grapevine - 02.08.2019, Blaðsíða 27
Ragga Holm
Ragga Holm is a rapper, a member
of Reykjavíkurdætur, a radio
personality, and the owner of the
new Curious queer bar. We asked her
how she’d spend her perfect day in
Reykjavík.
First Thing
On this perfect day, I’m in my dream
position in life, so it can be a little
fake right? I’d wake up and the first
thing I’d do is put on a juicy robe
with a hood and my Gucci slippers.
There’d be some people in my house
who would make me a big fruit bowl
with the best coffee ever. It’d feel
like that Versace movie on Netflix.
Juicy robe. Coffee. Fruit bowl. Gucci
slippers.
Mid-morning
I’ve always dreamt of having my
own office space, so I’d put on some
comfortable clothes and drive my
awesome Tesla over to my new
office. There, I’d sit with a good cup
of coffee creating all the stuff that
is in my head.
Lunch
My favourite food is sushi, so I’d
head to Osushi for lunch. They’d
have a special train just for me.
I’d just sit in the middle with a
virgin mojito, and they’d know my
specials, so I don’t get the boring
bites. It’s so sunny and warm out
that I’d have to wear my shades
inside.
In the afternoon
It’s time for the gym—gotta keep
my body firm. I’d go to Reebok
or World Class. I’d have my own
masseuse. I’d go to the hot tub
and cold bath for a bit, and get
a one hour massage—at least.
Afterwards, I go to my second
job. I own coffeehouse, vegan
restaurant and club Curious, and
I’d stop by to take the status, see
how everything went. And it went
really well!
Early evening
I call my friends and we head to
Fjallkonan. We meet, have some
cocktails—I’m having a virgin—
and make plans about what we’re
doing next week—we’re going out
of the country, just ‘cause we can.
Amsterdam? Abu Dhabi? We can go
anywhere.
Dinner
For dinner, we head back to my
place and fire up a huge grill. I’m
making mojitos and on this perfect
day. I have an ice room where I can
do my own ice picking. Then, we sit
outside with heaters in big robes
and eat the best vegan burgers
and nuggets you’ve ever had.
In the heat of the night
We don’t want to end the night, so
we go back downtown in a party
taxi to Curious. That’s where we
feel at home. Everyone feels at
home there. We sit, have more mo-
jitos and live in the moment.
