Travel experiment 2013 part 2 - the scale & outfit 1

Here is the scale and my assessment of my first outfit:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how comfortable is this traveling outfit? 1 being a corset, hoop skirt and those Alexander McQueen Armidillo shoes and 10 being a fluffy terry cloth bathrobe and fuzzy slippers after a massage surrounded by kittens.

I give this outfit a 9 for comfort.  I felt like I could move around as needed and certainly didn't have the dreaded tight pant crease line around my waist.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you feel about yourself? 1 being I just want to stay in bed, eat ice cream and watch Beaches and cry all day and 10 being I want to look the the mirror at my sheer beauty all day long, then go skipping down the street spreading my sunshine, with a parade of kittens following behind.
I felt like an 8. I felt happy and ready to travel

On a scale of 1 to 10, how are people responding to you? 1 being people are pointing, laughing at you, life is moving in slow motion, and 10 being people are asking for your picture and autograph.

9. People were fully making unsolicited conversations with me. Now, we all know I hate that, but people saw me. I was not invisible.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how warm are you? 1 being standing on the street waiting for a bus in NYC on an 11 degree day or the time in college when Chapel Choir had to sing at an outdoor nativity scene, in January, in Quebec and 10 being sitting in front of a fireplace under an electric blanket, sipping hot chocolate with a kitten on your lap.

10. I was the perfect temp the entire trip.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how do your feet feel? 1 being stuck in this aforementioned Armidillo shoes with no end in site and 10 being barefoot, sand  under your feet, gentle lapping of waves  kissing your toes.

7. A Frye boot is amazing; however, I just don't like being in shoes for a long time regardless of what shoe they are.  My feet wanted to be free about 5 hours into the journey, but I think that would happen with any shoe I choose.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you smell? 1 being the homeless car on the NYC subway (for those who don't know of that, it often happens that you see a empty car go by on an otherwise packed train and you think SCORE! I get a seat at rush hour. Then you enter the car and are faced with a smell like no other. You immediately realize why the car is empty) and 10 being, running through a field of lilacs on a warm summer afternoon with swirling ocean breezes.

8. I still detect a slight hint of my Bond 9 Nuit de Noho perfume. It is heavenly
