OH SNAP — Los Angeles photographer Mike Ruiz has been shooting celebs for years, with a portfolio that includes Brooke Shields, Doll Parton, and Zac Efron, and credits in Vanity Fair in Interview, and a judge’s chair on Canada’s Next Top Model. But America met Mike, the person, last night on the second season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which has gone all America’s Next Top Model on us — thanks to Ruiz’s lens. His latest project? Celebrity transformations, including the likes of Queen Latifah, Tatum O’ Neal, Morgan Fairchild, Carmen Electra, Lance Bass. and yes, Ms. Shields — a few of which he wanted to share with Queerty readers.

Look at Mike’s Arms my god. So rumor is he has been after “Jay” from top-model/ “E” Fashion police for years. n jay finally said yes n they are “dating”..Gggggirl thats just what I hear. ummkayyyy….!
OMG, Brooke went all “No more wire hangers!” Joan Crawford in that last pic! On an aside, just what exactly, if anything, has Lance Bass been doing for an actual living for the past decade??
I was surprised that the pictures of Lance Bass were actually kind of hot. The picture of him with Mike Ruiz was a good one. Looked like they were having some fun with it.
