Wanda’s grinning from ear to ear, showing off her yellow-stained chompers. She stares into the lens with her wild eyes and messy white hair … and you see the moles on her face and neck.

Seems an arrest earlier this year hasn’t wiped the smile off Wanda’s face … and she’s known for smiling in mug shots.

TMZ broke the story, Wanda got busted back in May in Utah after allegedly getting near some kids at a couple public parks in Salt Lake City, a big no-no for the registered sex offender.
