‘Human Barbie’ Gives 7-Year-Old Daughter Liposuction Voucher
Quote:

The UK’s self-proclaimed “Human Barbie” gave her 7-year-old daughter an unusual stocking stuffer this Christmas: a £7,000 voucher for liposuction. The holiday gift was a follow-up to Poppy’s most recent birthday present from her mum: A £6,000 voucher for breast augmentation.

‘She asks for surgery all the time. She wants to look good and lipo is one of those procedures that will always come in handy,” 51-year-old Sarah Burge told the UK’s Daily Mail. “I see these vouchers as investing in her future, like saving money for her education.”

Last year Burge, who says she taught her daughter how to pole dance when the girl was 6, defended giving her daughter a breast augmentation voucher when she told Closer Magazine, “Poppy begged me for a boob 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 boobs, she can have something else done with it.”

She's spending quite big figures on her own figure. I wonder where she got the money.

Stupid husband?

I've been thinking that by the end of this year I might need cosmetic surgery for all the spare skin I'm going to have, but i don't think I'll be spending even six thousand pounds on it. lol There's no way I could justify it for one thing.

Can she use the voucher for the counselling for her inevitable body-image disorders?

Not the very worst parent in the world, but damn, she's trying.

Gun, whatever else you lay at her door, the woman pays her own way.
She works as a referral agent for plastic surgery, and on any slow news day she knows she can get her name and face in the paper. She's a self-promotor of course. But it's always the right-wing reactionary press that feature her and encourage her.

Whether this is as bad or worse than the purported gifts is open to discussion.
Many D-list celebs use their children to make news.

There are plenty of worse off children out there. She is growing up in her mother's skewed world, but it's a world many women understand.

She's not being starved, beaten, sexually abused, kept away from school or exposed to drugs/ alcohol/ prostitution. I'm not comparing like for like, I'm just saying as a way of preparing a child to exist in the outside world, she's not really warping her. Better she thinks perfect boobs will make her popular than that Daddies can hit Mummies when they're drunk.

I don't support her, I've just shifted my moral balance a little since meeting children who face problems at home. And I work in a generally affluent area.

The ideal is educated children with a safe home life and a positive self image.
And yummy healthy snacks for all and parent(s) that tuck you in at night and read you stories.

[eta] Especially given perfect boobs will probably make her popular...

The mother is a self serving attention-whore and she is teaching her daughter to be the same way.
This has nothing to do with daddy hitting mommy.

Children learn from their parent(s)/ primary carers.
A girl brought up to believe image is everything still has a better start in life than many children.

It's not ideal. It's certainly not my ideal.
But it's not abuse.

I think she's promoting self-esteem. That woman is FUGLY and thinks all the work has made her BEEYOOTEEFUL.

Maybe her daughter won't mind being ugly too. :right:

Sometimes I hate you IM, mostly right now because I totally agree with you.

infinite monkey 01-10-2012 05:23 PM

pssst, don't tell anyone!

ZenGum 01-10-2012 06:02 PM

That's it. 2012, dogs and cats, living together, Classic and Infi agreeing ... we're doomed, I tell ya, doooooomed!

classicman 01-10-2012 08:36 PM

Look Zen, I'm just trying to keep this up for another 11 months and 11 days.
