14 DAY TRIAL // Sarah Burge’s goal in life is to look like Barbie, the blonde Mattel doll, which explains why, at 51, she hardly looks a day over 25. For her daughter’s seventh birthday, she came up with the most original (in the sense of “never heard of”) idea for a present: she gave Poppy a voucher for a breast job.
Burge is never the one to say no to plastic surgery, whether it’s on herself or any of her daughters. As it turns out, she plans on encouraging her youngest, Poppy, to do the same.
In a new interview with Closer magazine (as cited by the Daily Mail), Burge reveals she offered her daughter the present she’s been dreaming of for the past year: the promise of breast augmentation when she’s older.
That Poppy is only 7 right now matters very little, Burge points out: if she develops a generous cleavage on her own by the time she can legally go under the knife, Poppy can use the voucher for another procedure, whichever she wants.
“Poppy begged me for a [breast] job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she’s 16, when it’s legal. If she develops naturally big [breasts], she can have something else done with it,” Burge says of the odd birthday present she gave her daughter.
“Poppy isn’t interested in bouncy castles or pass the parcel, so I splashed out on something a little more grown-up,” the “Human Barbie” says.
Since Poppy saw “all” her dreams come true on her seventh birthday, she didn’t get just the above mentioned voucher as a present: she also received a £450 pink Swarovski set, a £250 computer and a £4,000 spa break.
Poppy says she’s happy now and that she can’t wait to grow up and go under the knife to have her bust enlarged because she thinks her mom’s is “pretty.”
Burge, one might as well note, is a self-confessed plastic surgery addict and has already spent £500,000 so far on trying to make herself look like Barbie. For her upcoming birthday, she will treat herself to £51,000 worth of more surgery.
“Some people think it’s controversial and I get angry when strangers say I’m a bad mother because I don’t think there’s any harm in giving her this gift,” Burge says in her own defense.
“Poppy is a normal kid who is good at sports and loves playing outside. Girls don’t want Snow White and Cinderella any more,” she adds.
Things have changed and little girls have other ideals now: “They want to be WAGs and famous like Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga. I’m just supporting her and making her dreams come true.”
