Earlier this week, I was passing by the Manhattan Center on 34th Street, 
as SportsIllustrated was about to present the issue.  The models were 
arriving.  They were wearing heavy eye makeup, 
tiny-sparkly-gold-very-high-heeled shoes, enormous coats, and were 
escorted by mostly really good-looking, really tall guys.  The observers 
were [to the right] older guys with large fronts and [to the left] 
tough-looking women.  All observers with cameras.

The models' faces and feet were incredibly pretty.  *Nymphs* did come to 
mind.
