And in one round she wore flat shoes, slacks, and a turtleneck

This isn't considered sexy??? Dang! I think I know what my problem is!

[Millee]

Can't wait to hear from the guys on this one ping! ;o)

Sexy business attire works for me.

This thread should deteriorate into a "sexy attire" pics fest in no time.

Well done.

[Casloy]

Maybe so, but is it really necessary to publicize this information?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Eye candy is always welcome. Especially if it comes with a little peekaboo.

[LongElegantLegs]

You're welcome. ;-P

high-heels, a tight skirt, and a low-cut blouse

I've heard men say otherwise, but I strongly believe that a professional business woman needs to curtail the sexy stuff. A well-fitting suit, beautiful shoes, and not alot of skin on a professional woman is preferred.

The receptionist can show her boobs all she wants, and she'll stay in the $30,000 slot.

What is it about fishnets?

Well, I don't make the hiring rules around here, but in my company physical attractiveness works against female candidates for employment. Seems the old school types who run the firm think attractive women are too much of a distraction to male employees, regardless of how they are dressed. They don't get hired, regardless of qualifications, and I can't imagine ours is the only company that thinks that way.

Whether an old fogey or a resentful feminist is in charge of HR, it would seem wise for a young woman to downplay her looks as much as possible when seeking employment. Too many people find her threatening.

Pam Anderson comes to mind

she could be an Einstein

but no one will ever know due

to they can't get past her boobs!!!!!

Pictures?

[wolfcreek]

If she's well endowed or showing a lot of skin, it will definitely make men's minds wander.

[WhiteGuy]

I

hate

you.
