There are only two possibilities here.
First possibility: Wendy B is a total fraud. Could be a sixteen year old lonely boy wishing he was a beautiful female professional photographer who does shoots in Paris and gets published in National Geographic and Audubon and maybe Maxim as well. Or could be a lonely housewife in her fifties whose fantasies are essentially the same as the hypothetical lonely boy's. Heck, maybe she's a fourteen year old Chinese gymnast pretending to be a sixteen year old gymnast who just won a couple gold medals at the Olympics. In any case, this is sad and boring and deserves to be ignored.
Second, Wendy B is only a
partial fraud. Not exactly sure how this works. Maybe Wendy really is a photographer. I'd be willing to bet that Wendy actually owns a camera, or at least a cell phone that has a camera feature. Or maybe Wendy really does have some contacts inside Pentax, maybe she's Ned B's housekeeper, or maybe she dated some guy who works at Wolf Camera. What is clear is that Wendy B doesn't want to reveal anything about herself that can actually be checked out, no photos, no real name, etc. As far as I am concerned, this is even more pathetic - and even less interesting.
If somebody comes to me and says, I work for the CIA and I have info you don't have about something really bad/really good that's about to happen, I ask, (1) What's the info? and (2) What exactly
do you do at the CIA? If they cannot answer BOTH questions convincingly, I am forced to conclude that they are a nutter. This is the kid's game of "I know a secret but I can't tell
you."
