Quote of the day
“Unless your career success rests on your chest it is probably wiser to rely on your other assets at the office. I don’t think women are stupid, I just don’t think anyone knows the rules. Women understand the power of breasts in general, but they don’t understand the power of their own. If cleavage isn’t in your job description, don’t write it in.”
- Elisabeth Squires, author of ‘Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls’, who says that showing too much cleavage could harm women’s careers and lower their chances of promotion. According to Squires, women have stopped power dressing in favour of tight low-cut tops and short skirts, which she warns will cause an employee to be perceived as sexual instead of professional. “Showing a lot of breast is going to be a distraction, especially in the workplace,” she says. Revealing two to three inches of cleavage during off hours will get the job done, but she cautions: “If it looks like you are going to pop out, you’ve gone way too far.” A study commissioned by Squires found that displaying too much flesh in the office can be distracting and damage a woman’s career. When asked which of the women looked the most professional and personable, most men picked out women who were discreetly dressed and women with medium-sized breasts.

If there is anything that Hollywood has taught me about how to dress in an office environment it is that extremely short skirts and high heels are the key to success.
It’s always worked for me.
I’ve always been a sucker for a big tit!
I think there might have been a bit of bias in asking men to choose the most professional looking women – 1. it depends on the profession! and 2. It’s unlikely that the guy is going to point at pictures with breasts hanging out for fear of looking like a pervert!
Generally I don’t want to think I’ve been dressing the wrong way all these years!

What about when they were asked which one they would hire/promote/give a pay rise/make sure was never ever ever sacked?

The one with the biggest tits.
Oh, wait, no. That’s the punchline of a different, but clearly related, joke!
