This brings a whole new meaning to keeping up with a Kardashian.
A 24-year-old British woman spent more than
$30,000 to emulate reality star Kim Kardashian, electing to go under the
knife to achieve the reality star’s signature look.
Claire Leeson, who lives in London, became
obsessed with the 33-year-old starlet after watching “Keeping Up with
the Kardashians” in 2009 — in small part because the two have the same
number of siblings.
“We have the same kind of arguments and things going on,”she told
ITV’s “This Morning.” “I thought she was so beautiful and I really
wanted to be like her.Leeson spared no expense in her utter transformation, shelling out more than $8,500 for a breast augmentation, several grand on teeth whitening, as well as more than $1,700 in spray tans to achieve Kardashian’s bronzed glow, not to mention a designer wardrobe and shoes to match.
To achieve Kardashian’s ample curves, Leeson
wears underwear with silicone padding, but hopes to one day get
implants, “because my bum is never going to be as big as Kim’s is,” she
told the morning show.
But the Kim-itation comes at a cost — Leeson
said she is more than $10,000 in debt, with much of the cost spread
across credit cards.
The desire to
imitate Kardashian came from a dark place — Leeson told the television
show that she was bullied as a teen and called “ugly” by her peers.
“I was told every day that I was the ‘ugliest thing alive’ and I should ‘kill myself,’” she told the program tearfully.
Though her family is worried — and her debt
keeps climbing — Leeson has no plans of stopping any time soon. “It may
not be right, but when I do it, I’m unstoppable and no one can touch
me.”
