Running Scared

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte has a huge chunk of my heart. Not only did he conquer most of Europe in the early 19th century, but the man could wear the shit out of a cape. I do not know whether it's the uniform, the intense you-so-want-me stare or the fact that he's on a fricking bucking horse, but there is something almost too HAWT about Napoleon Bonaparte. When not wearing a FIERCE hat or posing for portraits on the battlefield, Napoleon was writing super-hot letters to his lady-love, Josephine de Beauharnais, which will make you squeal like a little girl-"I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest..." (see more here: http://www.napoleonguide.com/lovelett.htm) They do not make men like they used to.

Despite the fact that he divorced Jospephine in 1810 to marry some no good tramp, his final words before succumbing to stomach cancer were '"France, armée, tête d'armée, Joséphine."("France, army, head of the army, Joséphine.") If all this wasn't seductive enough, uber-babe Marlon Brando played Bonaparte in 1954's 'Desiree". Although Brando falls flat as the dictator, the movie is worth watching if only to see Bonaparte's trademark high-waisted white silk pants in action.

I also like to think the first two minutes of this clip are exactly what would happen if i ever met Napoleon in person.

Interestingly, while searching around for photos of Napoleon's iconic hat, I learned that "Napoleon's hat" is also a sex position. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Napoleon's%20Hat

Napoleon's influence on romance knows no bounds.
