She should have some white powder on the dress. Like the coke spilled cuz Wendy know
Laverne C** should play Wendy so her look is more relatable to Wendy’s.
It just sucks to be Wendy. Despite her success, money, and personal spin on her story, she still is a bitter, unhappy, & lonely person with no real friends or relationships. It’s very sad.
