When you think you’ve nailed the perfect Halloween outfit, something comes along that completely redefines the game. This year, that something is not a store-bought costume but a brilliantly crafted creation inspired by none other than Amazon Prime.
Cathy Johnson melded her admiration for the online retail giant with the iconic Transformer Optimus Prime, resulting in an extraordinary costume that left everyone in awe. She shared her creation with the world, stating, “I’m a loyal customer,” in an interview with a popular parenting blog. Johnson, who serves as the Creative Director at a marketing firm, designed the costume specifically for her office’s Halloween contest.
Although she has no ties to Amazon, her fondness for ordering from the site fueled the imaginative project. It took her approximately 10 hours to complete the costume over several days, with her children, 9-year-old Mia and 12-year-old Alex, eagerly helping out. “They were always trying it on while I was working on it,” Johnson remarked. “I can already envision making additional cardboard helmets for them.”
Cathy also credited the crafting and DIY community on Instructables for inspiration, which is a great resource for anyone still on the hunt for the ultimate Halloween costume.
Did Her Creativity Pay Off?
Absolutely. Johnson triumphed in the office costume contest, outshining competitors dressed as Morticia, Wednesday Addams, and even a character from Nintendo.
As for her plans for Halloween night, she has decided against wearing the costume while trick-or-treating with her kids. “The visibility is quite limited, and I want to enjoy watching them collect candy,” she explained. While it’s a bit disappointing that the streets won’t see a real-life Optimus Prime mom, her priorities are definitely in the right place.
