In the news...
I read this in the news the other day and got to thinking if I ever worked for a female boss before. I had and unfortunately she was not all that attractive. She looked like she had a hard life. There where others who where very conservative and older. I did have a lot of hot co-workers and MILF's that I worked along side of. Always got me to thinking about how good they would be in bed. Back to the topic at hand, can a women be sexy and still kick ass in the cooperate world? I think so.
As long as she wore garters, seamed stockings, g-strings, thongs, and gave me a raise every few months..........
Study: Tight Skirt Can Make Female Boss Look Dumb
POSTED: 7:51 am PST November 30, 2005
Although research has shown that physical attractiveness helps people get ahead, there can be too much of a good thing.A study in the latest issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly finds that a sexy self-presentation with high-heels, a tight skirt and a low-cut blouse can hurt a businesswoman's effectiveness.
Men and women were shown a video of a businesswoman discussing her general background and hobbies. The script and actress remained the same, but her dress and job changed.
The sexiness manipulation had no effect on judgments of a receptionist. But a sexy manager was viewed as less competent when compared with a more professionally dressed counterpart, who wore flat shoes, slacks and a turtleneck. Sexy managers evoked hostile emotions and were deemed less intelligent.
Participants rated the woman on her competence, and estimated her GPA and how selective her alma mater was.
"Although various media directed toward women  encourage women to emphasize their sex appeal, our results suggest that women in high status occupations may have to resist this siren call to obtain the respect of their co-workers," the authors concluded.
The study's authors said a female manager whose appearance emphasized her sexiness was viewed with the perception of less competence on a subjective rating scale and less intelligence on an objective scale.

It's kind of cliche and to a degree sexist to assume that the boss with the short skirt and low buttoned blouse is not as intelligent as the plain Jane type.
However, I do tend to agree with this. A woman should command respect from her subordinates, this is not achieved by showing your wares.
You cannot expect to receive respect in the work place and also use your feminine charms to win over your colleagues.
There is a time and place for both but never the twain shall meet.
I think a women can be respected and sexy at the same time, with out showing off the goods.
Quite right, there is something to be said for being slightly demure. ;)
