"Are you ready to unlock temptation?" bursts a gritty voice, sounding suspiciously like a male version of a Venus Razor advert, before diving into CCTV style clips of a cop-chase. Ah, micro-sites, the forefront of advertising. Then, to help out with any gender confusion, a female spy pops into view in a full-length spy dress with a headpiece from a call centre on.
Despite my initial cynicism (and a bit of a fib, secretly wanting to be the spy in the cool dress), ASOS and Magnum have just launched a fabulous competition which comes in the shape of a rather nice little flash site and - very importantly for eager fashionistas - you can enter daily.
As you may have gathered, you are invited to play Miss Spy, guiding an eager-looking chap around a the site's rather swish mansion to steal ten items of ASOS goodies within ten seconds. After this hi-speed - and strangely addictive - shopping extravaganza, enter your details and hope you win. What I noticed was my fashion style branching out. "Free heels!" thought I, of the flat shoe genre, "Yes please!" Like a cheap stylist, perhaps.
It's a very nice opportunity to acquire several hundred pounds worth of clothes but be wary, the adrenaline-based shopping leaves you wanting to peruse ASOS whilst eating Magnum ice cream.
