Ok, so we know that the person hosting the picture thinks it's AFP...

That would be the obvious assumption just from the eyebrows.
The question is:

Silly question. But it just looks foreign.
[I added the italics]
Given the number of people who deliberately xeroxed Amanda's look (some of whom can still
be found here today), and the atypical (for the apparent time) absence of any trace of the
whiteface makeup one might expect...  Is that really her, or just someone who looks like her?

(Then, looking at the acompanying wider shot from the same site, I'll say yes, I think it is,
possibly photographed while rehearsing.  That would, at least, explain the absence of the
whiteface...)

Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Well, you decide. Let's look at the URL and go to the directory in which the picture's located.

http://www.station172.com/subversi/BANDS/THEDRESDENDOLLS/

What else is there?



I think it's safe to say that that's Amanda.

I agree. 

My point is more that you can't assume that just because someone somewhere in internet-land has
put  a label on  something that the label  is accurate.  Yes, OP could have done the same leg-work,
and spared us this discussion, but this is more fun. 


(Also, she has changed a bit, hasn't she?  Looks much more grown-up now, imho.)

Their website is a .ru site. So it probably is a random bot.
