Lara's "maternity leave" continues pretty much unabated. The rumors about a new single to be broadcast starting January 1st proved to be unfounded (quelle surprise!).
However, Lara wasn't out of sight completely. As advertised, "Un Regard Neuf" was broadcast early New Year's Day on French TV. Lara was also featured in the program "The Best of Cauet" with her 'lobster' imitation. Also, with imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, more notice has been taken of Lara's songs recently, with covers by other artists of "Adagio" (including a version in Spanish), "Je t'aime" (in Russian!), "Tue es mon autre" (Mario Frangoulis and Giorgos Perris), as well as another cover of "A Wonderful Life" (not Lara's original, but something she has helped popularize).
Annie on Hezia's site pointed out the location of a Belgian publication that has a few nice pictures of Lara (not recent). It can be found at:

Farfallina 8 is still making its slow appearance in mailboxes in Europe, so it will be longer still before it reaches other continents. Some people are worried that if they don't renew their fan club subscription (which for many people came due at the end of December) they won't receive it. The general opinion is that they will - that 4 issues per year come with each subscription, this being the last one.
Of course this response was not given by any of Lara's people. Their only action was to remove all discussion of the contents of Farfallina 8 from the web site, ostensibly so that people could be surprised by them. The official site has been down often in the past week; the hope was that Lara was finally writing a holiday message or an update concerning the child, but none has appeared. On all of Lara's sites, traffic has been very slow, mimicking her public schedule.
Nothing official is on Lara's agenda for the foreseeable future. We all know that she has boundless energy, so the possibility exists of her popping up at any time, but with her (now 6 week old) child, both she and her fans are in new territory.
