I attended a private catholic school during peak “beepers are cool”. I was the poor family whose kids attended on scholarship/work study, but all my freinds were children of doctors, lawyers etc. Everyone wanted to have beepers and look like the cool gangster/drug dealers making gritty rap songs etc etc. But none of their parents would allow them to get them. So being the true rebels they were, they’d jsut borrow/steal their dads beeper to wear around at school and show off. It would be hilarious if they ever got a page, and panicked becuse they had to run to the office and call their dad to let him know.

Looks dope, IMO in some parallel universe it was a trend.
Avril Lavigne vibe
I’ve seen teens doing this recently. You were just ahead of the curve.
I would have been quite smitten with you in high school and you would have promptly put me on the pay no mind list. Haha.

That reminds me of when I’d wear cuffed jeans in the 90s. Never rolled the top down though.
I was in a slipknot video, we would have definitely made out and never talked again
so pretty!
Would have caught my attention back then, I must say.
I was so envious of everyone else who had a pager!
I’m guessing you’re around my age. I would have gladly let you ruin my life back then.
I loved the pants roll down look!
1992?
You looks just like that actress who
Played the younger sister in blue crush! I totally thought this was her!
Nothing wrong with a pager 📟.
Yeah, rolled down jeans is a thing now. Jade Cargill was doing it in WWE this week.
I thought this was Alicia Silverstone at first

True rebels hehehe
What year? And my god you look cool!
Scrungie around the wrist…. screaming 1996.
NGL – it’s a good look.
If it works with a skirt, it can work with pants. Stay up fellow beeper owner.
Page me babe.

You’re gay now, right?
We woulda been fast friends.
