With school coming back in about two weeks, that means Picture Day is around the corner.  With so many things to worry about such as clothes, hair, make-up and how you’re going to smile, just one picture taken at the worst moment can make or break what goes into your school yearbook.

Since Pleated-Jeans knows  how nerve-racking it is to have your school photo taken, he has come up with  27 things to avoid to increase your likelihood of having a good photo.

We’re used to seeing rappers as hard edged guys that talk about guns, drugs, sex and prison. That’s why it’s so bizarre seeing them pose for their primary school photos as wide-eyed children. My fave photo is Usher’s because the cheeky little guy looks like he knows something we don’t know. I also have to give a shout-out to Lil Wayne who sacrificed time out of his precious day and is NOT happy about it. Clearly his school photographer didn’t use one of those inherently funny jingly stuffed animals to crack a smile.
