Her name is original and has substance to it on its own, so she's not Himeka - the Ayu impersonator. Ayu's name doesn't follow her name around, does it?

Impersonators actually can make a lot of money.
They're hired for the events the perform at, usually through a talent agency that specializes in that field.
You wouldn't dress up as someone, go out and perform as them, act like them for hours, and not get paid, right?
Think of it this way. Hiring an impersonator is much cheaper than hiring the actual person. It also gives people who are unable to see the real thing an alternative that is very similar. It's not nearly as negative as some would think.
I go to her blog every once in a while and I notice that she also puts on shows that aren't centered around Ayumi.
Regarding her eyes: If she actually followed the correct lining of her lower lid she would have normal eye structure. She's applying her make-up poorly and someone near her needs to tell her so. Poor thing.
Also her hair pieces look to be synthetic which is pathetic.
