Throughout the year of 1972 after her commercial success was at its peak, Wendy continued to perform in and around Melbourne at venues like the renowned Thumpin' Tum and Paddington Town Hall. In 1972, her performance style took on a much more theatrical bent, adopting a totally new stage persona, complete with costumes and white-face 'pierrot' makeup. She also put together a new backing band called 'Teardrop', featuring artist Morris Spinetti. They were regulars at the TF Much Ballroom and the Much More Ballroom in Melbourne; a recent photo exhibition in Sydney featuring rock snaps by "Jaques L'Affrique" (David Porter) included several terrific shots of Wendy in full flight on the TF Much stage. In 1971, Wendy and Teardop also appeared in a short film, Three Directions in Australian Pop, filmed by legendary Australian director Peter Weir as part of the Australian Colour Diary series. In Weir's short film, Wendy performs a cover of US folk musician Sixto Rodriguez's "I Think You", at the TF Much Ballroom in Melbourne. Rodriguez at the time was very popular in Australia, and still remains a favourite to this day.
