Lara continued her occasional dip into fan communication with the following picture on her Instagram and Facebook sites, at
or
www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=648457039971926&set=a.259330805551220
and the (translated) caption, “With my Ninette @zak168168 ….
Looove 🥰”
Ninette literally means “little girl” so a number of people writing in viewed this as Lara with her daughter. But some complained that she looked too old to be Lou…and they are clearly right. If one goes to the Instagram account of “zak168168” (https://www.instagram.com/zak168168/) one sees the woman to whom Lara is referring (clearly not a girl). Ninette may well just be her name (means ‘Grace’ - and it’s effectively the French diminutive of Ann). A discussion of the name can be found at nameberry.com/babyname/ninette.
[Note also, that the woman's Instagram site has the name “Time to Change”. This was the name of a mental health campaign from 2007-2021 in England trying to destigmatize those with mental health issues. Whether there’s any relationship between that effort, and “Ninette” is unclear].
Another current Instagram picture of Lara can be found (this and the next link are thanks to the Lara Fabian Coeur de Lumiere FB site] at
with the caption, “emir_kir [Vester Bar - Brasserie – Hotel]
There are encounters that make a difference in life!
Tonight, I had the great privilege and honor to meet an exceptional personality, Lara Fabian. Her greatness of soul is really equal to her immense talent. Thank you for this wonderful meeting and this moment of invaluable sharing.”
And then Lara’s response, “Dear Emir ,Thank you so much for this shared moment, you are a rare being , your kindness and compassion are deeply moving. What a privilege for me too 🙏🏻”
And, at the beginning of the week, a personal picture with Lara from Chantal Benkoski, at
with the caption, “Reunited with my artist but above all my heart friend... ❤️ @larafabianofficial Soon on tour! PBA Charleroi 29/09/2020”
Chantal Benkoski is a fellow Belgian. He runs a Public Relations Agency which is described as being “Created in December 1996. Chantal B Press & Public Relations is a press office specialized in gastronomy, luxury hotels, wellness, entertainment”.
Some review ratings for the film Arlette, in which Lara plays a small role, are available at imdb. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14157348/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt). As can be seen, 38 IMDB users have given it a weighted averaged of 5.4 out of 10. About half of them have given it a rating of 7 or above.
To really see Lara as an actress, of course, one needs to watch the Mademoiselle Zhivago ‘film’. A reaction video to it is available at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTRfsAmcWOU&t=0s
As we all know, Lara’s disagreement with Alan Badoev the director prevented it from being shown in theaters (outside of opening performances in Moscow and Kiev). Without going through all that again, the crux of the matter was that Lara did not want a production which portrayed so many negative emotions to be ‘released into the world’, preferring to emphasize the positive. Badoev’s position was that these negative things exist in the world, and if we want to avoid them in the future, we must face them in the present. Given that the movie was made some 10 years ago, and both Badoev and Igor Krutoi (who composed the music) were born in the Ukraine, it would appear there was some merit to his position…The movie itself, which on youtube has about 1 million views, can be seen at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_vqPgn7WRE&t=0s
or

On IMDB its rating from 28 users is 8.6/10.
Interesting photo(s)/video(s) of the week:
Several Lara related youtube videos; first a video by “That’s Not Acting Either”, at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=plJHPdRoTos
Described as “11 Minutes Of Lara Fabian being her Wonderful Self”, taken from posts by Lara The Ring Fabian, it features Lara at her most humorous and humble. As it includes the video of Lara talking about hanging up on Barbra Streisand, it’s a nice set up for the next youtube video, from Lara the Ring Fabian, at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=URf9nrTBs_U
which describes her actual first meeting with Ms. Streisand, fostered by David Foster in June 1995 (with English subtitles, of course).
Finally, there’s also her English subtitled interview on ‘2 filles de la matin’ from 2010
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dmaqHUCuKc
where Lara notes she had to shoot a music video as her mother was dying. Despite that subject, it is often a quite humorous interaction with the hosts on other topics.
Given the youtube emphasis here, it should (again) be noted that ‘Lara Fabian Fan Espana’ has been posting many Lara videos, of all sorts in recent weeks (some 55 in the last week alone!). [It deserves as many subscribers as it can get, IMHO].
A photo (although not the best) of Lara with the director of the film ‘Arlette’, Mariloup Wolfe (thanks to the Lara Fabian est ton autre FB site) can be seen at
www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=604538957707576&set=a.216252733202869
About 5 weeks before Lara’s first fall concert in Belgium. One imagines that her rehearsals will start before then, but that still leaves her another few weeks for her vacation – the remainder of the summer for many of us. Stay safe everybody,
David
