I just went to Corbis, where individual royalty-free images can be 
paid for and downloaded.  Didn't do any pricing (that requires 
registration, which wanted a *lot* of info just to allow me to price 
out a photo).  I would imagine that Web-resolution photos might be 
pretty cheap -- certainly cheaper than even hiring a couple of 
bikini-clad Nubile Young Things (NYTs) for an hour on a sunny 
day.  Getting quality images "by accident" on a beach somewhere would 
still require (at minimum) that the models signed a release.  Stock 
agencies exist for a reason...

Bring her along.  That way, she keeps an eye on you *and* makes the 
NYTs feel more comfortable.  Win-win, doncha know...   8^>
