Charlotte Interviews Poppy (stylized as Charlotte interviews Poppy) is a series of videos on the Poppy YouTube channel that feature a mannequin named Charlotte. This is the second part of the series. It was uploaded on July 14th, 2015 and is the 15th video of the Poppy era.
Theme[]
This is the second of four interviews by Charlotte, a mannequin that appears in many of Poppy's videos. The interview is primarily about the music video for her then-upcoming song "Lowlife", which was released 10 days after this video. In particular, Poppy mentions the Devil making an appearance, as well as Titanic Sinclair directing the video. Charlotte also asks Poppy if she knows how to read, to which Poppy states she loves reading books and that she has been reading the Holy Bible. Poppy is then interrupted by a phone ringing. Upon answering it, an indistinguishable voice can be heard speaking, after which she apologizes to them and tells them they must have the wrong number. Finally, Charlotte thanks Poppy for talking to her.
When Poppy is asked what the Holy Bible is about, she evades the question. This is perhaps a reference to the stereotype that many Christians follow the Bible but have never actually read it.

Trivia[]
- This is one of the only Poppy videos that mentions Titanic Sinclair, the other being "I Am Not in a Cult".
- It is also the only Poppy video to mention the Devil who appear on the "Lowlife" music video, the same one who would later be featured in an episode of Internet Famous with Poppy.
- Poppy mentioning that she has been reading the Holy Bible is a possible foreshadowing of her videos "Poppy Reads the Bible: Part 1" and "Poppy Reads the Bible: Part 2", in which she does nothing but read the Bible aloud.
- The video was originally titled "Charlotte interviews Poppy (first music video)". It is unknown why it was changed.[1]
- This video marked the first time a Poppy video includes ambient genre background music.
