A girl who is supposed to be called beautiful instead of sexy, pretty instead of hot, and the one to be treated as a princess rather than to be hurt by the wrong guy. She got the best personality, she is nice, caring, forgiving, but at the same time naive. She fell for the wrong person and will hold on like an idiot even when the guy fucked up so many times, and is. She is the girl I was too late to realize how much I love because I fell for her while fell for her look. But she is still the one I'm crazy about. I am a Josephine and I have read every one of these definitions. I agree with most of them.

I have brown hair with blue eyes, I love singing acting dancing and anything music. I wear a lot of makeup and I admit I do love it when guys drool over me. I get ’s without trying. I’m an introvert but around my friends you wouldn’t think it.
People think I’m funny and pretty and I like it that way. I don’t like people knowing that I have so much anxiety and I have all the time. If you know a Josephine, cut her some. She goes through a lot of stuff.
Growing up in London in the 1950s, 140 years after the Battle of Waterloo, I knew that Napoleon was short and I knew the song “Boney was a warrior” and the phrase “Not tonight, Josephine.” Reading a biography of Napoleon I realise that I was left with the remnants of British propaganda.I thought about “Not tonight, Josephine” as I read this morning of Napoleon divorcing Josephine. He was doing so because she was too old to give him the son he needed to found a dynasty. Collateral damage cast.

The divorce also gave him the opportunity to strengthen ties with either the Russians or the Austrians by marrying into their royal families. The Romanov’s could stomach “the Corsican upstart,” but the Austrians were in a weaker position. So Napoleon married Marie Louise, Archduchess of Austria. They had one child, and Napoleon had at least two illegitimate children.Napoleon’s marriage to Josephine was successful in that they enjoyed each other’s company and loved each other in a way. When they first married Josephine was wildly in love with another man, and Napoleon, who loved Josephine strongly at the beginning, subsequently had a string of mistresses. Josephine knew about them but was very upset when he divorced her, although she well understood why.But what about the phrase “No tonight, Josephine,” which I knew as a child?
We British snigger as it implies a lack of sexual energy if not impotence. But where did it come from? I looked it up.There’s no evidence that Napoleon ever said it. Nor is there any evidence that he was impotent or that his marriage to Josephine was not sexually satisfying. Speed devils. The phrase seems to come from a song with that title written in 1911 by Seymour Furth and sung by Ada Jones and Billy Murray.
So it isn’t even propaganda.But it is the title of a board game, a rock band, and a Slade song. I discovered too that it’s used in a splendidly silly 70s television advert for hair spray. In an atmospheric black and white film Josephine makes her way through the camp to Napoleon’s tent, where he is hard at work. Looking at her messy hair, he says in a thick accent “Not tonight, Josephine.”But even more fun is Johnnie Ray’s Yes Tonight Josephine, which I discover topped the charts for three weeks in Britain in 1957. Its lyrics (see below) consist mainly of the line “Yip yip way bop de boom ditty boom ditty” and lines like “I will squeeze and hold you tight, Pack each kiss with dynamite.” I like it very much. I’ve played it several times.
