Hi Wendy, I was watching your show this morning in Detroit and you mentioned Simon walking on the inside of the sidewalk with his girlfriend/fiance. The main reason chilvarous men started walking on the outside of the sidewalk is because during the 16th century in England, people tossed the contents of their chamber pots (urinals) out of upper-story windows onto the streets. They also sometimes would toss out their garbage in the same manner.
I absolutely love your show, Wendy! Keep up the wonderful work!

Your right Wendy. Who wants to see skin and bones walking down the run way. How are you supposed imagine what clothes look like when a toothpick is wearing it. Its not realistic. I was hoping that things would have changed in the fashion industry when Tyra Banks had her show America’s Top Model, being that Tyra’s body image is more realistic. There needs to be a change. For the health of some these models who may be struggling to stay thin. Beauty is skin deep, it is about whats within. But it would be nice to see average size models in magazines and on the runways. In my opinion my idea of average would be about 5′ 7″ size 10 or 12, toned body.

iI tink it’s messed up how hollywood producers are bias aginst females who arent the size of a bundle of number 2 pencils. In my opinion i think a plus size girl is just as better, i LOVE a big or thick female with a great curvey shap. im what you would calla BBW fan. Wendy i think 1day for your show you shoul have a model of gorgeous plus size females so i can decide wich one i want to take out for myself. or you could just do a show about gorgeous plus size females, either way im still happy. -BIG UPS TO WENDY FOR HAVING A GREAT SHOW

Who wants skinny, when you can have a curvy sexy girl in extremely tight clothing like Wendy. Tight skirts, high heels, amazing rack giving you that ” you better come get me, I’m the baddest b!tch out here” look when you meet her.

The most important thing is to be healthy, regardless of your weight. A woman that is a size 2 can be less healthy than a woman that is a size 12, it is possible. So my point is be healthy and be happy.

Living in Las Vegas as a plus sized African American entertainer I can definitely relate to how the industry turns it’s nose up at full figured women. This is why I normally perform overseas where people come to see me perform for my talent and not how I look which is definitely the case here in Vegas. They can’t believe that I like to perform songs by Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas. Like I’m too old and fat to do this. I may be big but I’m still sexy and wear fabulous costumes that are revealing but tasteful and Asia loves me!
