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: WTF
7. Just being this dude in general
