I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. It's not so fantastic for little Poppy whose mom Sarah Burge not only got her a £6,000 birthday certificate for a (future) boob job. The 51-year-old plastic surgery junkie has now gifted her 7-year-old daughter with another voucher. This time: £7,000 worth in liposuction for Christmas, together with make-up, hair extensions and a spray tan.
"[Poppy] asks for surgery all the time," said Burge known as the 'human Barbie' for having spent around £500,000 on her own surgical enhancements. "She wants to look good and lipo's one of those procedures that will always come in handy."
Business is obviously booming for Burge who runs a London-based swinging club called Madame Pink, and regularly gives her daughter pole dancing lessons in the hopes that Poppy will one day take over the family trade.
"I see these vouchers as investing in her future — like saving money for her education," Burge told Closer magazine, insisting that "it's good kids worry about their looks." Mom of three girls, Burge is adamant that women who criticize her parenting skills are simply jealous.
"[Poppy] is just like any other little girl. She wants to look pretty, wear nice clothes and behave like her idols. I don't understand why it would outrage so many people. It's just a bit of fun."
But what's a girl to do when her number one 'idol' happens to be Sarah Burge?
