Mike Ruiz and his man, Martin Berusch rock it at an Ali Forney Center event during NYC Pride last week. Maybe we’ll see more of them on “A-List: New York” Season 2?
If there was one character on “The A-List: New York” last season whom everybody liked, loved or at least thought was a solid, strong and admirable character, it was celeb photographer Mike Ruiz. Of course, maybe that’s because he was already an established artist and frequent TV personality (appearing on shows like America’s Next Top Model, Canada’s Next Top Model and RuPaul’s Drag Race). Or maybe it’s just because he’s a little older and more established than some of his “A-List” castmates? Whatevs. We can all agree. We like Mike!
So this week, let’s catch up with him! As always, he’s an uber-busy photographer, and since Season 1 of A-List wrapped, he’s launched a T-shirt line, become a sought-after creative director (watch and hear more in the video), and he’s become a busy advocate for many queer non-profits.
But I like this line in the video:
“Season 2 is going to be different from Season 1, in the way that I’m opening my life up a little more to my personal life…”
Whoa! Let’s get up close with Mike! More, more, more!!!
WATCH.
I love how Mike calls new cast member Nyasha “a pistol… fully loaded.” BANG!!!! Season 2 may require some Kevlar, perhaps???
After the jump, more Mike!!!
Just ‘cuz, here’s a few more Mike pics to get your “big sexy brother” juices flowing…
Hello, Handsome!!!!
Mike shoots everybody. Like Iman, Vanessa Williams, Kelly Rowland and… Kathy! And you can get his Mike Ruiz T-shirts which raise money for the Ali Forney Center to house homeless LGBT youth.
And even a fab celeb photographer needs a holiday every now and then… Dang!
Mike’s official “A-List, Season 2″ press photo. Or his James Bond screen test?
You can watch more “Catching Up with the A-List” videos at LogoTV.com. And get juicy previews of A-List: New York Season 2, too!
