Underdressed or overdressed? I choose for— ooh, that's a difficult one. Because I'm the Iceman, I should be okay to be underdressed. But I say also, fuck cold, you know? I like heat, I like the sauna, I like the tropics. But not all the time. Sometimes I like to be underdressed and sometimes I like to be overdressed. You know, this way in shorts, I'm all the winter in the cold, in freezing temperatures. I'm always in shorts. So it is underdressed. There's no dressed under here. Underdressed. Nice one.
