Thanks Garth. That is very practical advice and also absolutely
no fun.

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^>
