Forbes.com recently presented 7 tips about dressing for work for the ladies.  You can view the pictorial here.  I figured we could have some fun with this.

1. Too Much Cleavage - the experts say if you want to get ahead, ditch the low-cut top.  Studies show that women who dress in sexy attire in a professional environment are more often passed over for promotions than women who dress more conservatively.  I guess this could also apply to guys with hairy chests and gold chains.  Button up.

2. Too-short skirt - Wearing a micro-mini may send the message that you’re trying to compensate for skills you lack in other areas.  Attention is drawn away from your face.  Guys, get rid of the flood pants, you’re not on the A-V squad anymore.

3. See-through clothes - Always wear transparent blouses over camis or under jackets; transparent dresses and skirts should be layered over a slip or leggings.  Geez, I have a hard enough time concentrating with the first two on the list!

4. Undergarments showing - With the plethora of specialized undergarments available to consumers (clear and convertible bra straps, for example), there is no excuse for bulging panty lines and peek-a-boo bra straps or thong tops.  Each day at work I see women with all kinds of bulges.  Go for a fitting, please.

5. Bringing the beach to the office - Sundresses, spaghetti straps, flip-flops. Nothing makes you look less professional than coming to the office like you’re dressed for the beach.  One of my coworkers has been wearing flip-flops since May.  I hear the slap-slap-slap all day long.  It’s making me wish for Labor Day already.

6. Over-accessorizing - Less is more. Costume jewelry, when worn in bulk, tends to look tacky. The real thing, on the other hand, can come off as gaudy.  No one wants to work with Mr. T, unless of course you’re on the A-Team.

7. Ill-fitting clothes - If you’re current closet doesn’t fit because you’ve gained or lost weight, seek out a neighborhood tailor to adjust it. This one goes for the guys, too.  You’re not a 32 waist anymore, tubby.  Ditch the parachute pants and buy some clothes that fit.

That was a good list.  Can you think of any more?

• I Hate the Olympics I know.  BLASPHEMY!  UNPATRIOTIC!  I love most sports, at least the ones that fit George Carlin's definition of a sport.  I'm a die-hard Yankees fan.  I love the football Giants.  I never missed a Knicks game when Patrick Ewing was in the pivot.  I was ecstatic to hear the "1940"......
• Beware of the Office Snitch! Photo by AlexK100 Today, at work, I had an encounter with a shadowy figure;  a cunning, pernicious specter;  a wolf in sheep's clothing.  I caught him in the act, doing what he does best: undermining the cohesiveness of the workforce.  He's that well-known office stool pigeon.  Smell a rat? ......

• difference between men and women (fairly long)? Handwriting: Men: To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch.
