Ok for women to look sexy at the office, just not too sexy

It’s true. When I see a girl in the office dressing slutty I instantly think she’s easy and dumb. 2 things which won’t get you far in any company. Dress smart, not sexy. Dress trendy but not slutty. Watch how much leg you show. Sure, it’s eye candy for the men but they won’t respect you in the boardroom or the bed room either. If all else fails come over to my place strip down and let me decide what you should wear (only hotties please).

“Women, take heed – experts say you shouldn’t look too sexy in the office. A 2007 survey reported in Allure magazine showed that when men and women saw videotapes of the same women dressed provocatively business suit, they assumed she was a competent receptionist but not a competent manager.

Sexual stereotypes based on clothing still exist, so pick pieces that skim the body but don’t hug the curves too much.” (story)

Singapore now the 7th most expensive for office space

Singapore has moved into the global top 10 most expensive office markets for the first time, with occupancy costs hitting an average of about US$130 per square foot, according to global real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield. Office rents, the largest component of occupancy costs, rose 40 per cent on average in the world’s top 10 office locations, it said in a report that compares office occupancy costs in 203 locations in 58 countries across the globe.

Worldwide, rents climbed by 14 per cent on average, with London retaining its position as the world’s most expensive office location. Hong Kong is second, followed by Tokyo.

Singapore was one of the star performers in the office market last year. It rose ten spots to the 7th position as prime office rents chalked up a 78 per cent rise last year.

Said Mr Arsh Chaudhry, executive managing director of Cushman & Wakefield in South-East Asia: ‘Rental growth in Singapore was led by strong demand from the banking and services sectors coupled with very limited supply of quality office space.’

London’s rents are now triple the average paid by occupiers in New York’s Midtown business district, said Cushman & Wakefield. (story)
