Mike Ruiz (b. 1964) is a Canadian-born photographer, director, TV personality and former model and actor. In 2008 he photographed a nude Miss Piggy, paying homage to the late photographer Richard Avedon's famous portrait "Nastassja Kinski and the Serpent" from 1981, in a series of photos based of famous celebrity poses that appeared in Zink Magazine. The list includes spoofs of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Edie Sedgwick as well as Kermit the Frog as Andy Warhol. Notable is that Miss Piggy appears on all of these photographs without visible ears.
