I’ve not died, everyone.. I’m still most definitely here. I’ve been very very busy, and sidetracked in my life offline, thus making updates a bit hard as of late. However, I have got a couple things I want to get added as soon as possible, so please stay tuned for that!

The site was hacked yesterday. Though I can recover most files and updates, I, unfortunately lost that exclusive video of Mélanie on Le Grand Journal, as well as the captures we had. I’ll do some hunting, in an attempt to find it again.. but no promises can be made. Sorry about this, but I wasn’t expecting this to happen, and so no back ups were made. Un-announced updates will be made of the lost files in our gallery soon!

Edit: If you have applied for membership in the gallery within this week, your account was deleted with the hack restore. However, it takes a simple 3 seconds of writing me back to recover your account, so take the time to write us at contact@melanielaurent.net for your membership restore. Also, if you had registered to the message board, or posted, within this week.. your recent activity was lost. If you were a new user within the last week, you’ll have to re-register! Sorry about all this, everyone.

Thanks to the incredibly talented Mikaela, IML’s gallery archive has a brand-spankin’ new look!! The layout features the newly found image from 2004’s Elle Magazine (again, a huge thanks to my dearest friend Maria for scanning that for us!). I’m sure I’m not alone when I say, that this new gallery layout is gorgeous, and a breath of fresh air. Make sure you check out the new look, and visit Mikaela’s design site for any future design site needs!

Just a small update today, everyone. I made an update to the “The Years” section of the site. Now, you can get a quick run-through of Mélanie circa 2005, and her achievement’s from that year.

Mélanie news has been a bit slow these past couple of days, and I’ve been very busy with side projects and planning my vacation (which will be from the 18th of March to the 26th, so updates will be very slow within that time). In order to bring this site up to speed, and bring more fan activity, I wanted to ask you - the viewer - what it is you’d like to see more of here?

Please feel free to comment to this post, telling me your ideas and desires for the site. Remember, the message board is always available for discussion between fans!
