Carrie the Luggage Van - Is she ACTUALLY a SLEEPER?

Or at least somewhat inspired by them?

Actual photos of the Sleepers are so hard to come by, since they only appeared onstage for about 4 minutes as the non-Component identities of Volta and Joule, when Pumping Iron was placed before AC/DC in the running order.  Also, these costumes were the least important builds in a show full of elaborate, expensive costumes to be made, so not a lot of time and budget went into realising the design. 

Similarly, Carrie’s costume we can surmise is a quick build on a tight budget - she was Tassita the Quiet Car until well into rehearsals, when (thankfully) someone seemed to realise that a Quiet Car was very out of place at the loudest event of the year.  So Carrie the Luggage Van is a last-minute bodge of ideas, it’s reasonable to expect some elements of her costume were intended to be for the “Quiet Car” concept (if there was such a thing…)

However, the original design for the 3rd Class Sleeper bears some similarity to Carrie.  We have the overall dark palette highlighted with a mustard orange; flat-fronted, shallow shoulder boxes; oddly bulky hair accessories. 

@pregnantseinfeld informed me that I was in a Buzzfeed article (with @creamynut and @bootyscientist2) a few months ago and had no idea.

Turns out that Buzzfeed just embeds Tumblr posts.

So if they take a post you’re in and say, embed it from your blog:

You can go back to the post and edit it to whatever you want and it will appear in the article like that. So you can do things like add “pay me royalties” 100 times
