It feels like forever and a day since we got superstar comedian Margaret Cho to horse around with Raging Stallion Studios exclusive Ricky Sinz for our August "Hot Issue," and now the wait is finally over! The issue hits stands today! The above video was filmed during the cover shoot, and it gives you an inside glimpse into the behind-the-scenes fun that went on that day. It's the next best thing to being there!
What's a woman—much less a mainstream celebrity—doing on the cover of a magazine known for delivering hard cocks to your doorstep every month? Easy: We chose Margaret to be on the cover not only because of her outrageous, on-the-edge personality, but also because of her steadfast loyalty to the gay community and her no-holds-barred openness about her sexuality. During both the photo shoot and her accompanying interview with Ricky, she did not disappoint on any of these counts.
Hooking Margaret up with Ricky Sinz was a no-brainer: The GayVN Award-winning performer shares many of the same traits (both he and Margaret identify as bisexual), plus both of them have a fondness for covering their bodies with tattoos. We thought they would totally hit it off. Luckily for us, they proved us right. The shoot was photographed by celebrity and fashion photographer Trevor O'Shana, and was a total blast from start to finish.
Find out what Margaret and Ricky have to say about it after the jump.
“I loved doing the shoot for Unzipped," Margaret says. "It is a tremendous honor to be the first woman on the cover, and I loved meeting Ricky Sinz. He was sweet and sexy—the most adorable porn star ever. I even had to write a song about it!”
For his part, Ricky was just as elated about the shoot. “When Unzipped magazine contacted me about doing a cover, I said, 'Hell yes!'" the erstwhile flip-fucker exclaims. "I have always wanted to be on the cover of Unzipped, but when I was told it was with Margaret Cho, my jaw dropped to the floor. The shoot was a lot of fun. It was really laid back and everyone on the set was a lot of fun to work with. We had a chance to be really creative and try different styles and looks. I love any chance I get to do something new and different. It was definitely something I will remember forever.”
We're not done with these two yet. There's more Margaret and Ricky to come, so be sure to check back for more exclusive photos from the shoot, plus outtakes from their interview with each other.

You know it's working when even just the editing and music makes me wet.
