Today's featured article Kelis "Blindfold Me" is a hip-hop song by American singer Kelis (pictured) from her fourth studio album, Kelis Was Here. The song was written and produced by Sean Garrett and Polow da Don. A remix, featuring American rapper Nas, was released as the album's second single in the United States on October 3, 2006. The song's lyrics focus on erotic talk. Music critics associated the track's style with pop rap and club music. "Blindfold Me" received a mixed response; some critics cited it as a highlight from Kelis Was Here, and others criticized its placement on the album's track listing as resulting in a jarring tonal shift. Marc Klasfeld directed the song's music video, which features Nas tying up Kelis. Premiering on September 6, 2006, the video was shown on an episode of the documentary series Access Granted alongside a behind-the-scenes feature. The song was further promoted with a twelve-inch single, released on October 3, 2006. The song peaked at number 91 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. (Full article...)

The plot involves a rich young man, his search for a wife, and the attempts – from mercenary motives – by his uncle to encourage his marriage and by his best friend to prevent it. The play opened at Haymarket Theatre on 3 October 1877 and was well received in London and then in the British provinces, the US and Australasia. Revived many times, it has been called "the finest and funniest English comedy between Bulwer-Lytton's Money [1840] and Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest [1895], which it directly inspired". This poster, published by H. A. Thomas in New York, was created for the first American production of Engaged in 1879.
