Metallics were shining bright as a strong trend for Fall 2009. Instead of looking stiff and retro-futuristic, these pieces were fluid, romantic and did not make you think of robots.

HOW CUTE IS THIS?!?! A PINK DOLPHIN!!!

Yes, they do exist. Some pink dolphins are albino Bottlenose Dolphins, while others are pink Amazon River Dolphins. All are incredibly cute.

SEEING DOUBLE: JENNIFER LOPEZ AND JERRI "ATOMIC BOMB" VEGA FROM "FOR THE LOVE OF RAY J"

Although Jerri Vega didn't win Ray J's heart on the T.V. show, For the Love of Ray J, she does have something going for her: she looks just like Jennifer Lopez.

THE ALEXTHEARTISTE JAM OF THE WEEK: "DAY N NITE," PLUS REMIXES

KiD CuDi "DAY N NITE"

OK. This song is so simple, it's almost insulting. Dude even rhymes the same words. But it's still catchy as hell, with Cudi's monotone voice and the sick beat. Peep the original song/video and two remixes:

New York Fashion Week is far from over, but I'm already seeing a strong trend on the runways. It's time to give your two-sleeve dresses the cold shoulder. One-shouldered pieces, with a little bit of drape, a little bit of interest, or a whole lot of shine, are the way to go for evening.
