Mission Statement
Selected Quotes from the Hos
"I've been going through all my Alias tapes and attempting to label them properly. While doing this I
was watching some of the earlier Vaughn/Sydney scenes and really noticed how much they've changed since the beginning of this year. They're a lot more tender with each other, and carefully becoming more trusting and intimate. It was so sweet to watch this progression. But it was also fun to watch how 'in each other's face' they used to be."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I was just looking at the Summer TCA/ABC party pics, and I literally think. I stopped breathing at those mug shots of Michael. I could just sit and stare at those pictures of him for hours. Pardon me for going all squealy fangirl, but those pictures are just about the most beautiful things I think I have ever seen in my life. I am not kidding. He is frelling stunning. I feel as if I need to lie down." - Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"[Souris], I have another confession to make. I remember so many of your posts over on the Haven's message board. I always admired your intelligence and thought provoking comments. You warned us - you warned us all [about X-Files expectations]. So many of us were still filled with hope and optimism...hanging on to any thread we could grab. Never mind...never mind...never mind. I have Michael and Alias to think about now."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"There is one scene planned where Syd is all cuffed up, arms and ankles inside a locked room in fbi custody.
My mind is slipping too fast into the gutter. But, did anyone else first read this and wish it said: 'There is one scene where Syd is all cuffed up, arms and ankles, waiting for Vaughn inside his bedroom.' ;-)" - Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I liked Will at first, really I did. I mocked him because, well, he was just so much fun to mock. But then he kept doing annoying, silly things. And then there was one particular episode -- I don't remember which one, but it was probably the same one [Lugia] mentioned -- where his hair was just *actively distracting*. I could not concentrate on his scenes because all I could think about was, for God's sake, man, comb your hair! Thank heavens they've tamed it. I could not have taken it any longer. (I have very strong hair opinions. Just don't *even* bring up Mulder's second-season weed-whacker 'do. That was traumatizing. ;-)"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"If Sydney hadn't whined to Vaughn about No!Augh, she'd wouldn't have stayed in TotW. But, the doofus she is, and her lack of sensitivity - please tell me this girl isn't clueless that Vaughn wants her - she has yet to get the dunce cap removed from her head. ~sigh~ I hate it when writers make a smart woman look stupid."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho # 5
"Lori [from VartanEtc] has posted vidclips of MV on the sports roundup. Ohmigod. I was *literally* biting on my thumb to keep myself from squealing in the middle of [my work]. MV talking sports = Souris puddle of drool."- Souris, vartan Ho#4
"Hey, if a crusade was good enough for the Christian's, I think it's good enough for the Hos."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5, on the idea of crusading ABC for Vaughn/Sydney couple pics.
"Since most likely none of us will get MV (i know i know..there's always hope though), which celebrity whore would you like to see him dating?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"I'm so sad. I just keep watching them presenting the award over and over
and over so that I can see MV grin. And each time I giggle like a fool."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I'm really, really getting into this show, more so than I'd ever intended
to. And Michael plays a big part in that! It started with those damn
video clips of him, continued with Alias and after watching Mists of
Avalon, I don't think I can ever go back!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"Oh, yes, those *damn* video clips. Totally what did it for me.
Instant-addiction crack."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"God. I think the image of Syd and No!Augh getting the freak on is burned
onto my retinas! There's just no good way to spin it. It's gonna happen."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I mean, could J.J. have fit ONE MORE CLICHE in the ep?"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I didn't get my Entertainment Weekly today, either. Monkeys! Monkeys, I tell you!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Please, just let me throw-up now. I need to hurl and then hurl some more. I don't even want to watch Sunday. The damage has been done."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5, on the No!augh spoilers
"There is no other explanation. First the [Noah] spoilers and now this. I'm finding a nice little Hobbit hole to climb into and never coming out again."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5, on Calista Flockhart dating Harrison Ford
"Pour-ice-down-your-pants hot ... yep, that's Vaughn!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"F!*# Yahoo!"- EVERYONE!
"I think it's sacrilege that they were in a safe house...it's now tarnished
my view of the word."- Kate, Vartan Ho#1 on No!Augh
"I know!! That is just a great big ball of wrong. Pisses me off. How dare
they tarnish our word!! We will reclaim it!!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4, in response to Kate
"Kill me now. Seriously."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4, on 'Masquerade' spoilers
"I'll kill you and then myself, deal?"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8, in response to Souris
"You can't remember his [Michael Vartan's] birthday?! What a Ho you are!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"Maybe [Will] confuses being horny with honor since both words begin with an 'H.'"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I'm really proud how far we've already gotten in a matter of *hours*. That 1000 messages per month is really paying off."-
Lugia, Vartan Ho #8
"Pop psychology or not - I agree. Vaughn is Sydney's 'Safe House.' He's the one person she can turn to for just about everything in her life."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5"
"BTW, I have developed a Pavlovian response to blue oxfords. Somebody in an NYPD promo was wearing one, and I jumped every time I saw it, thinking it must be Vaughn!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Does sloane do, or let someone else do, something to [Emily]? he's just plain evil isn't he? do they find 666 on his head?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1, on the finale spoilers
"Yes happy vaughn-in-leather thoughts....hope your week goes better [Souris.] : ) Think of Vaughn, with spiky hair, with black leather pants, and a shirt that says 'Souris's bitch'."- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"Everybody loves Will now! We're gonna get hit with a new host of Syd-Will
shippers! Gag. J.J., I'm going to hunt you down and bludgeon you with a large triangle!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Oh, nooooo! That's frelling *bad*!!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8, on No!Augh spoilers
"I'm tired of these boring 'no vartan' pics!! Plus i can't stand that this guy has made it into our spoilers pics. how freakin rude!!!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1, on No!Augh
"The Mists of AvaLoin. You know - it's not easy to think straight with MV on the brain. ;- )"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"ABC needs a psychiatrist."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"Is anyone else getting their mails in backwards order. I'm getting mails with responses to other mails that didn't come until after that mail and then other mails with questions about a mail i haven't even
gotten yet. ...oh lord-- there. my eyes have gone crooked!- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"And apologies if this sounds odd, but I don't think anyone should get to live with Vaughn unless we all can, or something like that."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"A couple of my niggly copy-editing things (y'all are gonna get SO sick of
these if you're not already! ):"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Okay I'm worse than a cult leader. I'm getting everyone that I work with to watch Alias. My friend just email'd me with a hourly countdown. This is a man that only watches PBS-- so I had my work cut out for me. Maybe I should start claiming the 'Church of Vartan Ho's' on my taxes?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
" I was thinking that we should maybe set up a fun little website for us Vartan Hos. We don't have to link it to our group. We are not really a Vartan Ho group anyway, just a nice Alias 'entrepotdamour' discussion group and we agreed to not make it very big. But many of us are official Hos and we should become a force on the net!! So maybe we could set up something like your 'Church of Vartan Hos' idea. Just a little crazy thing to find us on the net! Any ideas? I wouldn't want it to conflict with all the great websites members here already have or something as big as VartanEtc which has *everything* covered. I don't really see the point in repeating it. But something where the name 'Vartan Ho' would be attached would be cool, since you created it and we followed you. We should claim that name *now*!!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8, to Kate, in response to Church of the Vartan Hos
"I've been thinking about building an ALIAS web site for some time now and thought about calling it "The Safe House." Does anyone know if that name is already in use - or have an opinion?"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I haven't seen it used for an Alias site, but I am by no means familiar with them all. It works for me!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I love the Web site idea! I'd be more than happy to design a little something for our group. Nothing extravagant, just something easy that we can all update. We ought to get a little free account somewhere so that we all have the password...:)"- Bella Lumina, Vartan Ho#9
"We could all decide on the site design. I'm thinking..naked Vaughn everywhere?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"What might be cool, however, is eventually putting up our own Entrepot D'Amour/Vartan-Hos and Associates
[...] webpage... Alias with an MV bent. Normally, I would volunteer to do it myself, but I simply don't have the time to do it at this point. Once I'm done with my college apps, who knows, but until then at least one other person would need to helm this project. Just tossing out another idea."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"That's why i'll start a Poll once we get a solid list of site names and that way everyone can vote. Democracy baby!!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"What do we want this site to be anyway? Focus on Michael Vartan, Alias, Shipper or everything, for example even actor sections with Victor Garber?"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"I like not having frames. I have bad juju with frames."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I think it sounds doable, but let me make sure; you want to see the blue background changed to white, or the text changed to white?"- Bella Lumina, Vartan Ho#9
"Someone has to make sure that between ABC, the press and TPTB at Alias we want and need more Michael!!!"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"Damn that Michael and his love for orange and blue!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"Will you people SHUT UP??? ;-D LOL! My GOD you guys have been chatty today! I'm only about a quarter of the way through all the messages."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"See, there we have our swing vote! I'm just glad that I'd already made my peace with it."- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"Maybe we could make a fanlisting of sorts. I don't really know, maybe we'll have to do a 'learning by doing' sort of thing. I just wanted to copyright the name. I feel really protective of it! Maybe we could check out some other societies around the web and look how they've handled it? Suggestions are definitely welcome!!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"I like the suggestions [for the site] that have been made so far, and the site can still be unique from the other Vartan or Alias web pages. Up to date news, spoilers, Michael's charities, special interests, personal philosophies, or anything that ultimately promotes him as an actor would be beneficial."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"But what would we do with the site? I'd hate to see you do all the work if we're just going to post the same old stuff. Like someone said, there's already a Vartanetc, and lots of alias sites. What would make ours different? Outside of the name? What could we put on it?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"Hmm, i don't want to take away from this site though. It's good, but ...how do you say 'Safehouse' in french? I know this one means 'Warehouse' ...this way it could be like a sister site instead of a replica."- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"You've got a point about this being a sister site. Safe House in French is....'Sūre Chambre'.- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5, in reply to Kate
"(Lugia wrote '!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"............')
I'm Scared!!! Okay was I the only one frightened by that?? I can't even figure out how to make a good collage, nevermind what the hell all that meant. I understand it's code, like turning text [ b ]bold[ /b ], or [ i ] italics[ /i ] and stuff, but the rest of it was like chinese torture."- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"As far as names go, we could go short and simple and just use "The Warehouse," which would be a parallel affiliation with this list without out and out copying the name. We could use a sub-name like "The Safe House of the Vartan Hos." (You know, "Ho" is a bitch to make plural. Normally by the rules of grammar, you'd put an "e" in there, but with Ho, you'd end up with garden tools. So maybe it would look better to avoid the plural and make it "The Vartan Ho Safe House." (Yes, word-related things like this are what I think about all day.)"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"[Name for spoiler section] How about 'Intell'? Or 'Classified Information'?"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"With those three planets in the mix: Mercury - communication;
Pluto - it's all about power; - Neptune - confusion......we all,
unfortunately, we're sucked into the gravitational pull of a
gigantic cosmic wedgie."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I need some mindless VSR fic.... Or, oooh, Naked Chef is on! I
loves me some Jamie Oliver."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I really think that something like www.vartanho.com would be the
easiest solution. No hyphens, short, and even though it isn't the
title of the site, it will be easily identifiable. When a person sees
vartanho, they'll know it's us." - Bella Lumina, Vartan Ho#9
"!&%#?$" - Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"And, I'm afraid that I can in no way be associated with a site
whose main color is Duke (gag!) blue. Like, my skin would crack and
peel and I would be smote down with lightning from a Carolina-blue
sky or something." - Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"How do you make those striped backgrounds?"- BellaLumina, Vartan Ho#9
"Uh oh. i don't see a striped background!!!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"...website a go go..." - Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"< sean connery > Shekshy indeed! < /sean connery >" - Bella Lumina, Vartan Ho#9
"Boy, I'm pissed at Yahoo right now! You'll get this message
tomorrow!" - Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"I'm so freaking excited it's not funny...." - Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"There are a freaking lot of hysterical monkey pics out there. I had
to stop on the 30th google images page!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Okay, must stop ... need sleep...."- Bella Lumina, Vartan Ho#9
"Feel free to shut the idea down. I won't be so wounded that I do something drastic, like hurl my computer through the window. I'll just be slightly wounded. ;) I'm kidding, I just thought I'd put one idea out there.
[Check this out!] Sorry if the font sizes and all are hideously large/small. On Netscape it looked ok, but not on IE. I don't know. My computer sucks."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"The lay-out could use just a little tweaking - but I think that's why you posted this in the first place...to start putting the ideas into the visual realm. I'm amazed! How the hell you even managed to do what you did is a mystery to me. Wouldn't you just love to hear Vaughn say: "[SB], you're amazing." Wouldn't we all?"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"We could keep a 'growing' list of Vartan Ho's. Maybe we could even
compile it and send it to ABC after a while to show them how many
people really mean business about more Vartan!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"[Check this out!]
But [Bella Lumina], I'm liking your version more and more. I think I'm borrowing too much from other sites; I don't know, I see something I like and try to imitate it in ways."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"[Check this out!]
This is [Bella Lumina]'s design, I just updated it."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Uh, it did funny things in my browser."- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"You *want* it to repeat? I specifically didn't because things like that get annoying to me."- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Why are we still fiddling? I don't understand. I thought it was basically settled. Mommy, make it stop! ::head whirls::"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Hahaha [Lugia], it looks like you're the person i'm disagreeing with today. Yesterday it was [SB]. - Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"Take a break now! That's what I'm gonna do. Go get a cool drink. Stare dreamily at a pic of MV. Pet a kitten. Do something nice! Dizziness is a sign to take a break. This should not be a pain in any body part!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I don't want to come off sounding like a scanky ho-bitch."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"Just stop!!"- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Hmmm, what do you think would be in a Vartini? I feel the need to concoct
an Alias-related drink."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"(Kate wrote: 'We could have a 'Michael stuff' part, where you can focus on the bio and favorites and personal info. Maybe even a birthday thing. A little too duchovny??')
Hey, if it's good enough for the Fabulous Duchovny, it's good enough for our Vartan. Besides, we're women of distinguished taste. We're not building a shrine to some loser boy."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I downloaded Arachnophilia and it seems like a fun little program. The thing is that I played around with it a bit and managed to frell up your design and site big time - in no time! I think you will *not* want me near the WNP!! Or we have to include a fail-safe or something.[...] Wow, after how I frelled up your page, I'm really unsure if I'll be able to update at all! It will have to be fool-proof! ;-)"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"And as for a name (if one hasn't been decided on already), I'll just toss out some (bad) suggestions...Okay, no I won't because I can't think of anything. I'm a dork. lol. Vartan-Ho District? See, I *really* don't know." - SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Hahaha Warehouse of Love....a dirty minded person would be thinking that sounds like a skinamax style B-porn movie. But of course...not meeee. Oh yeah, i forgot to mention...anyone have any idea on a name for the site? It would have to be Vartan Ho something or other. i'm not in a clever enough mood to figure something out. What are your thoughts people?"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"'The Vartan Ho's Safe House'
'The Venerable Alliance of Vartan Ho's'
Okay...those are just examples. My wit is on vacation."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"Playing on the hockey theme, we could have a "Penalty Box" section for ...I don't know what. Maybe Alias things we don't like. For instance, Agent Weasel. Or the Braves, who MV apparently hates." - Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Colors: Well, MV's favorite colors are blue and orange. I personally despise orange, but hey, they are complementary colors. Links: We could have links to the official Web sites of the Kings and Mets."- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I had this horrible dream about the site!!!! i normally don't have very action packed dreams, but to me this was. We had everything set to go and then when people started trying to go to the page, they got 404 error pages and it crashed everyone's computers. i just remember sitting at my computer, and just somehow knowing that our site was the cause of a blackout in the united states. then we got sued by AOL because we fried their main super computer (don't ask...it was really weird. jeff bridges was the guy i talked to from aol. he was wearing a white t-shirt. and a green hat). i can't remember much after that except that i remember Michael vartan talking about us on a talk show with i don't remember who. i hate that i can't remember! but i remember seeing him sitting in a chair, and i know it was a talk show, and he said how horribly he felt that he'd been the cause of the shut down of AOL forever."- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"To think of the power The Safe House yield to shut down AOL forever! Sounds more like a comedy to me. ;- ) On top of that...you spoke with Jeff Bridges and saw Michael Vartan!! Whoo hoo!! ::thud:: This sounds like a great flesh fest dream for any woman."- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"We're live!"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"I've got the words "spoiler pics" and "links" and "pages" running around my head like toddlers hopped up on Mountain Dew and chocolate cupcakes. Kate, will you score some oxycontin for me, too?" - Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"I admit that I'm on edge right now anyway ... my allergies, a late-night Shrek dance-fest, and a bloody nose...." - SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Are we still shooting for April 26th? We got 15 days to perfect our stuff!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"I'm just a little geeky right now, but wow.....we're official. We're www.vartanho.com !"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I'm so happy!!! Oh lord, now we really have to work for that opening date!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"I don't know how many of you have been obsessively checking vartanho.com to see when it started working, but it *is* working now!"- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"I may have spent too long at the computer yesterday--I think I got mouse-hand. Ouch."- MelTM, Vartan Ho#13
"Yikes!! That is really scary. And here I thought it was so far away when we picked the date!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Hee. I'm having *so* much fun with this FTPing, it's disgusting!"- SB, Vartan Ho#2
"Major cool beans!!! A link from our homepage! Wheeeee! That's how I got to PB. Hey, I just realized: Penalty Box, Peter Berg -- coincidence? I think not!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
"Basically, I have no memory of how I did it. But at the end of the process I got this: http://www.vartanho.com/links/"- Lugia, Vartan Ho# 8
"Well, by God, by the time The Safe House and Vartan Hos get around the web, J.J. will know *exactly* how we feel about this. We're just not the Vartan Hos...we're a force to be reckoned with. We want Vaughn mentions and come hell or high water - we're going to get Vaughn mentions! And, PICTURES too! Hmph!"- Spygirl, Vartan Ho#5
"I forgot to put the different page title up and then all of a sudden the link colors changed. So it was definitely a very hard and difficult birth! But our baby is all the more beautiful now! :-)"- Lugia, Vartan Ho#8
"We've had over 200 hits in the last 30 minutes!!!"- Kate, Vartan Ho#1
"All right, girls. I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for working so hard on this! Our site is gonna rock and we're gonna be famous!"- rosemerry, Vartan Ho#12
"I'm telling you, assign me!" - Mel TM, Vartan Ho#13
"[Souris] bounces on her chair in happiness!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay us!!!!!!! Thanks to all of you who did so much work on the site! Cyber margaritas all around!"- Souris, Vartan Ho#4
