Apparently, Tera Patrick's scoring a spot on FHM's "100 Sexiest Women" list and her illustrated guide to making a homemade porn video a while back was only a taste of bigger things to come; as part of her recent mainstream media juggernaut, she also appears on the cover of US edition of the magazine's July issue. So why is this such a big deal? Well, (1) Tera is the first pornstar ever to grace FHM's cover (for both the UK and US editions ... and yes, that includes you-know-who), and (2) the cover shot is probably one of the raciest ones FHM has ever published, even by FHM standards. What other excuse do we need?
