This crazy dude is Rick Genest aka Rico or in some cases.... Zombie Boy!!!
Found on facebook by Tierry Mugler's new Creative Director and Lady Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti. His face may scare, confuse or cause no feeling at all but this guy is on the rise....He is now the Muse of Thierry Mugler and stars in Lady Gaga's new video for Born This Way.

We were introduced to Genest via Cathy Horyn’s latest musings on the industry, “Pushing Fashion Boundaries in an Era Without Any”. In a section highlighting the popularity of trans-gender model Lea T., androgynous model Andrej Pejic, and albino model Steven Thompson, Horyn reveals Formichetti’s newfound inspiration. This week, Nicola Formichetti was in Montreal photographing a young man named Rick Genest, whom he found on Facebook and is known as Rico. Mr. Genest had his body tattooed to resemble a skeleton, with blackened eye sockets and ghoulishly large dentiture on his lips. “Rico is my muse,” Mr. Formichetti, who styles Lady Gaga, wrote in an e-mail.
So... what does this spell for the future of the fashion industry and people with obsessive tattoo's?
For me it is a welcome change, and I for one are happy to see someone different in the spotlight!!!
