For the second issue of XEX MAGAZINE, Sailey Williams shot Celebrity Photographer and Reality TV Star Mike Ruiz

XEX went on a journey to discover the surrealistic and fascinating world of fashion’s hottest, “Most go to” Celebrity Photographer & Reality T. V star Mike Ruiz. From the minute we walked in his fancy, high-rise condo building in Chelsea, NYC, it was clear to us we were walking into the life of someone that is on top of his game.

The door opens and we were welcomed in with a perfect smile & immediately captivated by the charm in his personality and his sexy, hilarious sense of humor that set the tone for an afternoon photo shoot that will be hard to forget.

Mike Ruiz is best known for his high-impact, surreal brand of fashion and celebrity photography. He constantly shoots for countless American and international magazines. The impressive list of subjects that have stood before his camera are stars like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Zac Efron, Lindsay Lohan, Jonas Brothers, Betty White, Kathy Griffin, Queen Latifa, Tyra Banks & many more...

Mike Ruiz’s expertise behind the camera, stunning looks & charm landed him on several reality shows including “My Life on the D-List”, “America’s Next Top Model” and “RuPaul's Drag Race” (appearing as a celebrity photographer and guest judge).

He also rounds out the panel of expert judges on the upcoming season of Canada's Next Top Model. Mike is also the star of upcoming Logo Reality Tv show "The A-List"

VOGUE EVOLUTION ON MTV'S A.B.D.C

When Season 4 of Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew premieres on August 9, the show will feature its first openly gay and transgendered dance crew, Vogue Evolution.

"Assembled in early 2008, Vogue Evolution aims to be in the forefront of bringing vogue and house/ball culture to main stream media. Vogue Evolution comprises of some of New York’s most respected and creative figures in the House/Ballroom scene...Vogue Evolution has since moved beyond just a dance company to become an envoy that stands committed to effectively changing the lives of the LGBT community through the art of dance. Vogue Evolution works to empower Black and Latino youth around self-value, while educating the community on HIV/AIDS awareness, and encouraging the importance of getting tested now."

Nuovo Magazines Viewers first met Vogue Evolution at our recreation of the Vogue video which debuted June 1st, shot by Associate Editor Sailey Williams. V.E is a very dedicated & talented group, and one of the 1st to step up and take ownership of their style and dance techniques. I.e the "5000" vs "Dip" situation. Since the days of Madonna their culture and history have been misused and kept in the dark.

I am sure everyone is looking forward to see Pony, Dashaun, Leyomi, Prince Malechi, and the rest of the crew "turn it out" on the ABDC stage. They have alot to prove, and im sure they will make it fierce!

Watch the behind the scenes interviews with host Asha on NuovoMag TV episode 1

Nuovo wishes Pony, Dashaun, and the rest of Vogue Evolution the very best!
