Mike Ruiz auditions for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’

Mike Ruiz

As most of you know (or at least I HOPE most of you know) hunky celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz is kind of a regular fixture on RuPaul’s Drag Race, aka the only reality competition worth a damn. As a friend of the show, Mike decided to send in a spoof-audition tape showing off his lip syncing skills, and here’s what I took away from the experience:

  • Say what you will, but Mike’s lip syncing was pretty fucking on point
  • Nice to see he’s been taking hair and makeup tips from Shangela (aaaaaaaaaand the library is closed)
  • Does anyone else think he looks about like Mufasa from The Lion King? I feel like if you took off the mute, you’d hear him roaring and singing about the circle of life
  • You would still totally hit that
