Desperately Seeking Airbrushing

Today, I put on a bathing suit for the first time since I had Lola nearly 11 months ago. It was a humbling experience. Let's just say that things have not quite returned to their normal state, even though I've lost the weight. Sigh. So I have two options:
1. Work out until I look like one of the professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars. My husband is convinced I have that body type. LOVE him. I'm not about to tell him the Lasik isn't working. OR
2. Have some pictures taken of myself in a bathing suit, get them airbrushed, and then promptly forget they were touched up. Then, every time I look at the pictures I will believe I really look like that.
I like option 2. It's easier, and less sweaty. Plus, it lasts longer. If I did ever manage to get in great shape, my body would only stay that way as long as I kept working out. But I could hold on to those pictures forever, and, when I'm old, I can look back and say: "Look how hot I was in my 30s."
There are other options that don't involve exercise, like:
Endermologie: for cellulite
The Wellbox: Kind of like Endermologie, for home use
Leg makeup: Like Air Stocking or Benefit Flamingo Fancy (I love this mixed with a little of their golden lightning and used as body makeup) to hide bruises and stretch marks
Spray Tans: A tan makes everything look better, but since I dutifully avoid the sun, I can get one courtesy of a machine. Do you know they can spray on muscle tone?!? Who needs exercise?
Body wraps: Temporary, but potentially effective. Too bad the results disappear if you so much as take a sip of water. So I'll be gorgeous and dehydrated. I can live with that.
