When @sarahshahi drops by your stall to buy a Golden Girls tea towel….. #Dead #LifeGoalAchieved #NiylahsNikNaks #ClexaCon2018 (at Tropicana Las Vegas)
To think, only a year or two ago you three started making us wet ourselves over dubious Clexa crack and now look at ya. Making a Shaw sandwich in Vegas. Famous.
You are our new favourite person. Like a slightly easier to decipher UK Vanessa. Please don’t make us conjure up a mental image of Bellend’s bits n bobs, especially when the word “stiff” is uttered in the same breath. But no, no competition to be seen. Niylah is superior to BlahBlah in every way; picking up the ladies, gangster pimpin around town, and selling her wares down the market. He wishes his bits were as good as her naks.
Niylah’s Nik Naks is the Chanel to Bellamy’s Bits n Bobs’s Walmart.

How can it be! Today incredibly, remarkably, unfathomably marks the one year anniversary of our ridiculously silly podcast! One year since we f(o)isted our dulcet accented smutty ramblings upon your beautiful ear holes.
In the past 12 months we’ve dragged and slagged, cracked and crossed-over (with Priest Lexa), workshopped your sex and feels problems with Kassie Skai, literally murdered an array of British accents, educated you in genitalia colloquialisms via the medium of smut shaming, professionally performed live action replays of DWBYG, commiserated over our Heda, swooned over our OTP and the GEC and then suffered TOAW, brought you hard-hitting and now apparently legendary interviews with fandom faves KL Morgan (who is always mos def @entirelytookeen) and @foomatic aka Vidheda, laughed so much that beer came out our noses and wee nearly came out our badly made ham sandwiches, and generally tried very hard without really having to try at all to be the biggest piles of ClexaTrash that we could be for you.
And you, our faithful, sweet and wacky Relickru have been there every step of the way – almost 4500 times to be exact! Lez be honest, you’re enablers and you should have shut us down long ago. Instead we took your download stats as proof that you simply couldn’t get enough of us and now we’re 8 short weeks away from opening the world’s only post-apocalyptic lesbian market stall, @niylahsniknaks@clexacon, trading solely in merchandise derived from the crack mines that are our BRAINS.
You are all simply spectacular and it’s been a great joy to carve out our own very niche niche in this fandom. Thank you for letting us, and in the inimitable words of the theme tune to our lives and those of our sheroes and role models, Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose….
Thank you all for the smiles and laughter (and some wild manips), quite possibly the best thing that has come out of the Clexa fandom – apart from Clexa, of course.
Have a bash in Vegas, lots of success to you – looking forward to hearing about all the scrapes you get into.
Re: Clexacon, @weasal@gramjams@femininenachos – will you be doing a Hunner podcast in Vegas? Can only imagine Hunner Clexa running amuck in sin city – narrowly escaping arrest for indecent behaviour, winning a mint and spending it all on something insane like a diamond-covered limo and getting married by Elvis in the 24-Hour Chapel of Love du Jour. We do hope to hear of their adventures. Please keep us apprised. X
Well @thedoctor-smith, in the famous words of 90’s pop songstress and fashion eye patch wearer, Gabrielle – ‘dreams can come true’….

You may have heard whispers on the Polis grapevine that something big was brewing in the world of The Hunner, and it’s time to announce that the scandalous rumours are true. Our crazy swag stand is actually happening. Your favourite Scot-lish podcasters WeGramChos have teamed up again with the incredible @merchanon to bring you all the delights from the RelicCon/DWBYG Wrap Party swag bags, and SO MUCH MOAR.
We will be in Artist’s Alley at @clexacon peddling our own special brand of cracky goodness. Whatever your little queer fangirl heart desires, you’ll probably find at Niylah’s Nik Naks. High quality merchandise, treasures and trinkets at Las Vegas’ only lesbian ran post-apocalyptic trading post!
We can’t wait to share some of our creations with you, and we will be making items available for pre-order. Watch this space for details.
DISCLAIMER: This may or may not just be an excuse for us to be even sillier at ClexaCon whilst realising our life long dream of being market stall holders.
YES YES YES – there are going to be WWKD tees 100% for realsies! Team @niylahsniknaks are just sorting out a few of the finer details, and we’ll hopefully have some of the merch up on the blog in the next couple of weeks.
We’ll also be open for business to everyone, regardless of if you’re going to ClexaCon or not. You may have to pay a little extra for postage depending on where in the world you’re situated, but we got you covered (like Kassie’s tits in a bra)
We are all thrilled that so many people who aren’t able to come to ClexaCon are wanting in on the action as well!
Congrats on this – and did you hear of a London Clexacon? Niylah’s Niknaks needs a pop up shop.
Hi, question to ppl who were at ClexaCon last year… or this year (it’s still 2017 ;D): How much money do I need to survive there ~5days? Like, sleeping/eating etc.?
Back at my first convention, in the 80s, you paid to enter and that was it. It’s gone from being fan-run to serious corporate promotional event engineering with lots of money to be made (some of it legitimately, some of it just theft). I can well believe there are artists who are uncomfortable with the scheme and want nothing to do with it, while others just see it as another working day for which they are paid.
Certainly, if you stand to make some serious money from it (I’ve heard of actors walking away with hundreds of thousands), it’s hard to imagine anyone turning it down – but people do and for personal as well as business-related reasons.
Some might even think it tacky to make money off of fans who were harmed by their show. I don’t know. Next year might be a different proposition. Thanks for writing.
