A seasonal observation

As the weather gets warmer, and the days get longer, something I have noticed is that, while walking around, driving to work, shopping, eating out, generally going about your daily business as normal, you see more pretty girls in the summer...

Why is this?  Well, I have two possible theories...

Firstly - pretty girls are migratory...  They spend all winter in sunnier climes, in the southern hemisphere, like many of the birds native to Britain...  Then, as spring inches forward, they make the long and arduous journey home to the UK, again, across miles and miles of angry seas and strange continents, to arrive back here in time for summer, to continue their lives...  Before journeying south once more, just a few months later, as autumn draws to a close...  One day, Sir David Attenborough will present a series of documentaries covering this very subject...

The other possibility, of course, is that they are the same girls as you see in the winter, but they appear more attractive, thanks to better lighting in the warmer, sunnier months of the year...  (The "heat haze" which is so common on a warm summer's day may also help to hide any imperfections - particularly if viewed from a distance!)  That a person, when viewed under the soft, flattering, natural light of summer will seem more attractive than the same person lit by the harsh, artificial lighting favoured during the dark winter months, seems, to me, not entirely improbable...

I have not yet made up my mind which of these theories is the most likely...  Which do you think it is?
