Just a bimbo
Perhaps it is her less-than-politicallycorrect opinions and the long, dyed blonde
tresses that have led many people to think of
her as just a bimbo. However, the blonde
locks are a relatively new look.
According to her, she has been a victim of
attacks on her intelligence since she started
blogging.
That said, she doesnt take offence to being
called a bimbo and even sometimes refers to
herself as one.
I guess it just reflects how I feel inside,
because I feel like Im blonde. Not, like, ditzy
blonde ... just that looks and appearance are
more my priority than proving myself intellectually or anything like that, she explained.
Wendy said that shes come to realise that
no matter how smart a person is, there will
always be detractors.
I used to get very offended when people
say Im stupid because, you know I was in a
good school and when I was a kid, people
always said Im smart. And then when I was a
bit older and I started my blog, the first attack
on me was always that I was stupid, she
shared.
Married life
Well, Wendy really is making good money.
Currently, she is living off her earnings via
blogging, on top of all the perks she gets,
including free meals and trips for reviews.
In fact, almost everything was sponsored
during her recent wedding to her beau of four
years, Michael Sayre.
Michael and Wendy met online several
years ago when he came across her blog, and
dropped her an e-mail.
I think he was Googling something really
naughty because he doesnt want to tell me
what he Googled, she said in jest, only to
have Michael reply with a quick, I dont
remember!
Michael shared that the thing that he liked
most about Wendy was that shes honest
about herself, who she is and what she thinks.
She doesnt pull punches.
There is definitely more to the blogger than
meets the eye, but perhaps Michael is the one
who sums her up quite aptly.
Shes one of a kind.
