Last week we brought you ten tips for going out (which you should have implemented immediately). It's ok if you're still fucking up, because Ravin is here for the kids. Got a burning question for our That's So Ravin? Email her with your thoughts, dilemmas, and all-out rants at ravin.samoan@vice.comDear Ravin,
I am getting new press shots taken this weekend and I don't want to look like a jerk. I am not very photogenic and I don't want to wind up a joke on someone's Tumblr page. Could you give me a few tips?SRSLY, New York CityDear SRSLY NYC,
A DJ's press shot is about as good as their taste in music. You can tell right away if the person is a total cornball or not. So think about that before you are holding up a CDJ like it's the Lion King cub while making some horrible duck face. Here are some things to avoid…1.Sunglasses: You always laugh when you see someone inside the club with sunglasses right? So why would you do that?2. Sad Face: You play other people's music for a living. Your life doesn't suck that bad. Cheer up! This shoot is going to make you famous.3. Looking like a grunge band: Unless you are going to be on TRL there is no reason for this.4. Action shots doing things that you would probably never do if you were actually DJing: This looks painful. No one does this unless they are trying to hurt themself. Stop.5. Being "that girl": Do I even need to say anything about this?6.Being a Disco Pirate: WTF7. Just being this dude in general
