WHAT BECOMES A LEGEND- RUTHIE GALLARDO


my very longtime, (since high-school!) doll of a friend
RUTHIE GALLARDO has had an amazing life thus far.
back in the day she was a regular on american bandstand, (circa 1975).
i loved hearing here story about DICK CLARK yelling to the assitant director, " where are my mexicans? get me my mexicans for this shot.'

then in the late 70s, ruthie moved to paris and became the house model for THIERRY MUGLER, (now manfred). while in gay paree, she modeled for photograpy icons & lovers-
PIERRE ET GILLES, for some of their first images; now classics.


(ruthie by pierre et gilles- circa 1988)

RUTHIE recently graduated from Southern California Institute of Architecture, and is now a landscape & architectural designer for Green blossom Design.
we get together and have tea whenever we can.
