Lust List 08: Ryann Grove

Server, Eclipse di Sol on Highland Avenue, 26

Ryann’s wild curls and deep, dark eyes make her jump off the page, but this gorgeous server’s honesty and infectious laugh are a big part of why readers picked her.

How’d you get so hot?

My dad’s Irish and my mom’s black, and I think I got the best of both.

Do you have any secret talents?

My toes are long. I can grab something and pick it up with my feet.

Do you have any irrational fears?

I am petrified of cats. I actually had a dream last night that I had to stay in a villa with a woman who had nine cats.

Select “Shuffle” on your iPod. What’s the first song that comes up?

“Like Water” by Feist. I drove to see her the day before Thanksgiving in Nashville.

Your karaoke song of choice?

“Creep” by TLC.

MySpace or Facebook?

Neither. I just learned how to download an attachment on an e-mail (laughs). For a girl whose father puts together computers, that’s pretty bad.

What piece of clothing looks bad on everybody?

Gaucho pants.

Why don’t men read?

Some men think they know everything, I guess. (Laughs.)

If a guy wants to pique your interest, he will ...

Say something funny, then ignore me.

If a guy wants to lose your interest, he will ...

Try too hard.

What do you wear to bed?

A T-shirt.

If you could change one thing about Atlanta, what would it be?

There’s no 24-hour bar.
