Style: Wendy has been known for her platinum blonde sex kitten look. Transvision Vamp relayed on the media attraction over Wendy's image and after this she has kept up her appearance. Her look is based on her thin frame, platinum blonde bob and lucious lips. She has always had a little trashy look giving her a bad girl image. She has never tried to disguise her sexuality over modest or subtly stylish clothes, but her outlook has been directly what she is.
