Well sorry to disappoint you with unattractive females but they HAD all turned out to participate in a good cause - raising money for cancer research. A lot of the women there were cancer survivors so I guess that DOES tend to detract from one's looks.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide.

Another 59,390 women will be diagnosed with in situ breast cancer, a very early form of the disease. Though much less common, breast cancer also occurs in men. An estimated 1450 cases will be diagnosed in men in 2004. It is estimated that 40,110 women and 470 men will die from breast cancer in the United States this year.
