Hiding Pics in iPhoto

Merry Christmas. I have a bit of a problem.

I have a lot of pics in my iPhoto that I don't want anyone to see (mainly my girl).

Besides archiving them onto a CD, is there any way to create an album and then lock the album where the pics ALSO do not appear in the library?

I hate having to pull out a disk so I can look at porn. LOL

No: I don't think iPhoto has a lock or hide function.
But you could right click on iPhoto (or any other app), open the package and hide your photos in there.

why not just save the pics in a folder somewhere on your HD where she won't find them, and open them in Preview when you want to see them? Do you need to have them in iphoto?
