Where’s Wenda/Wilma?

I never realized there were female counterparts to Waldo, nor that one could purchase Halloween costumes along those lines. But the disparity between Wenda and Wilma--or is that just two conflicting sides of the same woman?--is very confusing.

Why doesn't the industry just rename it "Naughtyween" and be done with it?

Of course there's a lady version of Waldo. In addition to lady versions showing up in some of the books, there's also the Internet's "Rule 63". For every fictional character, there exists an opposite-gender counterpart. 😉 And, 9 times of 10, the lady versions will be sexy versions.

I've always thought of the books as titled "Where's Weirdo?" I'd really like to see an adult version, you know, where the characters are doing really naughty things. The topless beach bather doesn't count.

I love Rule 63, Calli! Thanks!

"Where's Patty" ??? She can do naughty things (don't ask me for pictures unless you have the $$$) Videos are available too from the last visit.

Waldo never sounds right. It's Where's Wally? originally in the UK.
