Nikki and Nora webseries The N&N Files will be coming to OneMoreLesbian.com/tello very soon. Until then enjoy the teaser!
We wouldn’t have been able to make this if it weren’t for the super supportive fans who helped us become the largest lesbian webseries crowd funding campaign ever!
THE SERIES “Nikki & Nora” follows New Orleans locals Nikki Beaumont (Liz Vassey) and Nora Delaney (Christina Cox), former NOPD cops turned private investigators. They navigate the channels of their personal life together alongside their dedication to uncovering the truth in the one city that really likes to keep its secrets, New Orleans.
THE HISTORY The original Nikki & Nora pilot, shot in 2004, was the first lesbian-themed drama series in serious consideration for a network TV slot. When this “ahead of its time” series did not get an order, the pilot was leaked on the Internet to an underserved TV audience, a loyal fan base was created… And they never stopped loving their favorite Big Easy couple. YouTube exploded with videos and tributes to the couple, as well as fan-fiction sites dedicated to imagining and telling the stories of these two women who inspired them.
When creator, Nancylee Myatt, approached her stars about a reboot of her original idea, they came on board without hesitation to recreate their roles as Nikki and Nora. “Nikki & Nora” will be the first time an unaired network pilot has been re-imagined and made for distribution exclusively on the web. All made possible by fans that would not let go of this concept and this crime fighting couple in America’s oldest party town. They rallied around the creator, producers and cast supporting the crowd-funding campaign, which is now the largest funded campaign with lesbian lead characters – surpassing their goal by 30%. The first released trailer has proven so popular, so fast, it is clear the audience is much broader than anticipated. In a television landscape loaded with garden-variety procedurals there is room for one that is sexy, funny and as mysterious as the city it is set in.
SEASON ONE “Music, Mayhem and Mothers” takes Nikki and Nora into the underbelly of the New Orleans music scene when they’re hired to work on a case that puts them in the spotlight and the headlights: the possible murder of an up-and-coming musician. Meanwhile at home, Nikki and Nora tackle the rising tide of core family issues while their new home is in the throes of renovation. Guest starring: Jim Beaver, Tess Harper, Janina Gravankar, Armin Shimerman, Kitty Swink, Aasha Davis, Larry Poindexter.

LYRICS:
Pretty girls in the bar tonight I gotta look at you Cuz the way you dance you move so right I wanna watch you groove I’ve never tried this, but why the hell not? I wanna be your boo, yeah. You and I might, if you want it, cuz I want it too.
CHORUS So put your hands up In the air now Gonna make some noise, noise, noise In the bedroom, under strobe lights We could share my toys, toys, toys If you want it, I could be that I could be your boy, boy, boy
Pretty girl I gotta know your touch Cuz it’ll make me weak And I can feel it when you fill me up Our darkest fantasies, yeah They say it wrong but, who the hell cares? Cuz when you look at me, I start to shiver start to shake now And it makes me scream, it makes me scream CHORUS Bridge: I’m drinking it in As she flows, she’s wearing me out I wanna give in, as she brings it down
After suffering breakups, a stoic lesbian moves in with a perky straight woman. With nothing in common beyond mutual heartache, the two form an unlikely friendship as they continue to deal with feelings and conflicts with their significant others.
