We've been breathlessly awaiting Jinkx Monsoon's upcoming album and it looks like this song, "Coffee and Wine" is slated to be the first single. The aesthetic of the song is very much Jinkx Monsoon, and there's a sultry, showgirl quality to both the track and video.

Huffington Post: Barcelona Star Transforms Racist Banana Taunt Into Empowering Anti-Racism Moment (VIDEO)

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 11:02 AM PDT

Barcelona defender Dani Alves combatted hate with humor and transformed an apparent act of racism into an anti-racism campaign that rallied some of the world's biggest soccer stars.

The left back was preparing to take a corner kick in the second half of Barcelona's match against Villarreal on Sunday when a spectator threw a banana at him. Rather than ignoring the heinous act, one that was visible to fans at El Madrigal as well as those watching the game around the world on television, Alves picked up the banana. The 30-year-old Brazilian proceeded to peel the banana and take a bite. Alves then tossed the banana and got back to work. Alves had already been involved in one Villarreal own goal and he would later be involved in another.

"We have suffered this in Spain for some time," Alves said after the game, via Sky News. "You have to take it with a dose of humor. We aren't gong to change things easily. If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective."

WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - Sylvia Mathews Burwell, President Barack Obama's nominee for U.S. health secretary, will appear before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee on May 8 for the first of two confirmation hearings, a committee official said on Monday.
