I look every day that I update and cross my fingers because the staff pick page is great advertising. We also try really hard to have great updates every time. I know I've been picked at least once which statistically, considering I've only been a charm 4 months, is probably about right. However, let's be honest here, there are a few ladies very close to the SC operation that appear on a fairly regular basis. They have great photos, but so do a lot of us. In other words the staff has their favorites and they don't try to hide it.
What's really strange is I've seen a few ladies honored as a staff pick that had terrible updates that day. We're not talking the quality of the model, that is in the eye of the beholder, I'm talking about dark, blurry, sad looking photos. You know, they're the "let's stand against the wall and shoot a few" type updates. So if I had to guess, more than half the slots in the staff picks are handed out on an almost arbitrary basis to make sure that everyone gets a shot.
You have a much better chance of being picked for a staff pick if you time your update for a Monday or a Wednesday. Those seem to be the days that don't have as many new updates.
