Take a look at her myspace pics and tell me that it doesn’t look like two different girls?

And are these two Nina Venetta songs, which links back to her myspace page, by the same person?

Why would see give so much info to the New York Times for free? Could she have tricked the Old Grey Lady? Could this be a case of mistaken identity or a hoax or some sort?

No, I think this may be a brilliant marketing ploy by a very media savvy woman. Taking maximum advantage of a spotlight situation.

If so, kudos Ashley, big ups to yourself!

P.S. This comment on her blog post cracked me up:

I bet 9 dropped a 2 when the feds called. In his pants.

UPDATE 3-13-2008 1AM: soon after posting this blog entry her Amie Street profile added another downloadable song.

UPDATE #2 2:30 AM: I now think Ashley and Nina are the same person given this interesting snippet:
Let’s ride. cAshley Youmans, 1985- (a.k.a. Ashley Nina Veneta) c2007
Which can be found on the following site: http://bulk.resource.org/copyright/hids/hid_10/hid_10854100-10854399.txt

Makes sense that Bottega Veneta (Venetian Boutique in Italiano) would lend it’s name to her pseudonym, which then later added a “t.”
