		motohagiography on April 17, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The forgotten war on beepers When I was a teenager in the 90s, playing in bands before I got into tech, I knew a slightly older girl who worked as a model. She had a beeper for go-sees that always made plans difficult. In hindsight I may have been very naive, but sometimes I'm still grateful she allowed me my innocence.

A "go-see" is when the model visits a photographer to discuss a potential shoot?

Or an agency for a potential hire - basically an audition, do you look the way we want the model for this shoot to look?

Implication being that she was actually a call girl or drug dealer.
