We probably all know the movie "E.T.", in which the main character is a lost alien, who needs to "phone home" to be rescued. It tells the story of Elliott, a lonely boy who befriends an extraterrestrial, "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help E.T. return home while attempting to keep him hidden from their mother and the government. The alien learns to speak English by repeating what Gertie says as she watches Sesame Street and, at Elliott's urging, dubs itself "E.T." E.T. reads a comic strip where Buck Rogers, stranded, calls for help by building a makeshift communication device and is inspired to try it himself. E.T. receives Elliott's help in building a device to "phone home" by using a Speak & Spell toy. But there are tons of different versions of "phone home". Like the ones in the urban dictionary or the song by Lil' Wayne. One of these versions is an emergency tampon. So, an E.T Phone Home occurs when one is out on the town, skeezing it up in a bar, shopping for kicks and rags, or any other activity away from your mad stock of tampons at home. When one E.T Phone Home's they are calling home to ask a family member, pimp, or fellow drug dealer to hook you up with some tampons asap... apparently!

Netherlands
Pieter Langendijk is a self-taught Dutch artist, inspired by Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning and Jean Michel Basquiat, but he has a thing for (new) abstract expressionism so there is no easy categorization. Or like Picasso said: "Painting cannot be taught, it can only be found". Langendijk gets his inspiration from heroes, nature and all good things in life, which makes for a personal and eclectic oeuvre. His work present a combination of an abstract, figurative imagery and painting expressed with emotion and sensitivity. He creates in a spontaneous and intuitive manner, often in a loose style. Before his career as a painter began, he produced several Dutch TV Shows, like the award-winning “The Secret of a Master Painter”. In this programme a team of leading experts takes up the ultimate challenge to reconstruct six of the most diverse Dutch masterpieces. In the process the experts pull out all the stops to get as close as possible to the artist's technique, style and perception of the world. Masterspieces featured in the show: Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Bosch, Mondriaan and Appel. The Netherlands has an illustrious history of unparalleled worldwide fame when it comes to painting. But Langendijk’s paintings convey a consciousness that implores us to seek out the details and subtleties of our inner child and re-explore our relationship with it. He lets himself be carried away, indicated by the hand of intuitive colors and spontaneous, childlike fun and shapes... often with a big grin on his face. If you look at the paintings on show you should be able to catch a glimpse of fun, pleasure and humor. But most of all, his art is a big reminder to enjoy life. In his eyes “to enjoy life” simply means being able to appreciate what you have now and enjoy life’s moments without letting them pass you by. This also means being able to enjoy the sounds, colors and scents of the world. To Langendijk, living a good life depends on what matters to you. Take the time to define your values, priorities, and goals for life. Self-awareness is key. Work to fulfill the desires you want to achieve, stay true to yourself and never doubt yourself. Doubt has killed more dreams than failure ever will. So, don’t be afraid to fail in life, be afraid not to try. Create more, care less! Therefore, Langendijk would love to see his work being showcased in homes, clubs, beach houses, restaurants and other cool venues... where people come to enjoy life and have fun.
