Although we're still a few months away from October, the popularity of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has already inspired the creation of this funny costume, designed to make it look as though you're in the midst of having a bucket of ice dumped over your head.
The Ice Bucket Challenge costume features a bucket that you can hold over your head like a hat, which hangs down with some sort of mesh or transparent material with metallic cubes tumbling down the fabric. Since this campaign to fight Lou Gehrig's Disease is only continuing to build momentum, this is sure to be a hot costume this year, as well as one that most people in the know will get a kick out of.
