you will have until thursday at 12pm pst to pay your invoice in full on paypal. failure to pay on time will result in you loosing your spot.

  1. Open your email, read the invoice
  2. Click the payment button in the email

why wasn't i selected?
due to the number of applicants, we may not be able to get you into the week you’ve chosen. we try to show a range of profile types and styles. you can increase your chances by selecting "anytime within the month" as your availability.
