“Rock of Ages, cliff for me …” – old Edison recording
From Wikipedia:
“The Rock of Ages is a cliff in Burrington Combe in Somerset, England which inspired the writing of the Christian hymn mentioned above.”

Speaking of male stars who have dimples, I didn’t spot any…I only notice the smiles, but not the dimples…BUT how about cliff chins? Johnny Apinai (Jariya aka Bathroom’s husband) has a cliff chin, it’s like a dimple on the chin.

Cliff chin?? Is that what you call em? Like Jay Leno rite? ehehehe

Yeah, it’s called a cliff chin, its like a dimple on the chin. Jessica Simpson has one too. It’s genetic though….like one of the parents got to have it. My sister-in-law got one and my niece inherited from her, so they both got cliff chins.
