Don't know c_b, I haven't seen the cliffs. I'll have to ask a Mønster.
Are the chalk cliffs actually yellow? Or is "blonde" being used here in the sense of "white"?
'Blonde as the chalk cliffs of Møn. Cold as an icy winter. Sharp as a German razor.'
Trite as a Hallmark card.
"'A female friend,' Kasper added. 'Blonde as the chalk cliffs of Møn. Cold as an icy winter. Sharp as a German razor.'"
- 'The Quiet Girl', Peter Høeg.

The men who use the word this way are the same Hawaiian-shirted oily old cigar-chomping uncouths that refer to women as dames and broads over chintzy coffee mugs of gin in the husky light at a poker table. True story.
Specifically, a female person.
A person, not a hair color.
