Lance Bass & Mike Ruiz

After working together ten years ago for a photoshoot on the cover of Teen magazine, Lance Bass and Mike Ruiz reunite for this new photo shoot that shows the former *NSYNC member moving away from his squeaky clean, boy-band image and embracing a much wilder side. Bass and Ruiz came together just as spontaneously as the images themselves — the photographer called up Bass on a whim and wanted to do something totally unexpected, to which Bass agreed without hesitation.

In our interview, Bass talks about growing up in Mississippi and being a “good Bible [kid],” saying that wearing "guyliner" was a definite no-no back then. He also tells us about his upcoming projects in television as well as his own jewelry line. Read on as the two compare Bass' hair extensions and makeup transformation to an episode of Extreme Home Makeover and to see how the singer's stint on Dancing with the Stars changed his life forever.
