Get the G-8 summit mug.In the movie industry, when a mid- to high-profile actor, actress, or (less frequently) director accepts a project considered far enough beneath them to raise questions about their integrity, they are considered to be slumming it.
There are a couple ways this can pop up. A highly regarded actor that usually appears in dramatic, "serious" works can appear in "low brow" entertainment (e.g. Dame Judi Dench in The Chronicles of Riddick, Marlon Brando in Superman), someone famous taking a role considered damaging to their public image (e.g. Patrick Stuart in Masterminds), or otherwise a highly talented individual accepting a role on a project that they should have recognized was doomed from the start (e.g. Laurence Olivier in Inchon). Money and/or contractual obligation are usually the reasons, but many seem to genuinely want the role.
Typically, an actor or actress that is slumming it will look hilariously out of place in the film. Whether it's because they're horribly miscast or because they turn out to be the only competent element of the work varies from case to case.

Get the suming chen mug.An extremely prestigious and selective Pre-K - 12 Co-ed private, Catholic school in Cincinnati, Ohio that has total around 1,000 students. Many of the kids who go there from K-8 are very wealthy because the tuition runs about $13,000, but from 9-12 many are on scholarships and finincial aid, and give a shit about their lives. The high school is possibly the greatest institution of secondary education in the Tri-State area. Their SAT scores are much higher than almost anyone else, and they get in to much better colleges than your average private school. Most of the kids that have gone there their entire lives dont appreciate how lucky they are to attend. It made national news in January 2004 when a part of its beautiful 120 year old main building collapsed. Luckily the damage was repaired. Has probably the most beautiful chapels in Cincinnti. Has a reputation for not being great at sports, but its hard to make a football team out of 160 guys. But, we won state championship in lacrosse last year. Of all the many Catholic schools in Cincinnati, Summit is by far the greatest.
