Hal references an interesting study in The Practical Side of Modesty:

----------
In another scientific confirmation of what you already knew or thought to be true, researchers at Indiana University found that men pay more attention to a female news anchor if she’s dressed attractively, but remember less of what she said.

You can read the formal abstract of the study from the report in Communication Research, or a more colorful commentary in Salon.
