I never got into the whole boy band rage, but I always knew that the delicious looking Lance Bass was gay. Which is probably why I liked him. Anyway, these photos of Lance Bass by Mike Ruiz have him looking completely unrecognizable.
Gone is the squeaky clean image, replaced with black eyeliner (guy-liner, if you will), a dog collar in one, and chain that appears to be made out of razor blades. I am not minding the Lance Bass by Mike Ruiz look, but Lance will always be my golden boy of Orlando.
