"A mother has bought her daughter cosmetic surgery vouchers worth \u00C2\u00A38,000 for her eighth birthday. Sarah Burge, who has spent \u00C2\u00A3250,000 on over 100 procedures for herself, claimed that Poppy, who can redeem the vouchers when she turns 18, requested the gift. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m investing in my child&amp;#039;s future. I&amp;#039;m giving Poppy the freedom to do what she wants. That&amp;#039;s what Poppy wants for her \u00C2\u00ADbirthday. I think she is beautiful and I don&amp;#039;t think anything needs to change. But the reality of life is people don&amp;#039;t think they look fine as they are,&amp;quot; Sarah told the Sunday Mirror. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s \u00C2\u00ADempowering for her to be able to take charge of the way she wants to look. She&amp;#039;ll be able to use the \u00C2\u00ADvouchers when she reaches 18. I&amp;#039;m going to keep buying them for her for Christmas and birthdays until then so she&amp;#039;ll have about \u00C2\u00A3120,000 worth. &amp;quot;People are jealous of my success because I&amp;#039;m creative and fun. The plastic surgery sends them into a wild frenzy.&amp;quot; Sarah, who runs her own cosmetic surgery clinic and hosts Botox parties at her home in St Neots, Cambridgshire, takes Poppy to weekly acting classes. Poppy also works as a part-time model and takes part in US beauty \u00C2\u00ADpageants. Poppy will also get a \u00C2\u00A325,000 party for the occasion, complete with a procession through the local village in a horse and carriage, a singer performing a specially-written song, a catwalk show and the world&amp;#039;s largest rabbit. Guests will each receive a \u00C2\u00A3200 party bag containing spray-tan vouchers, a signed photo of Poppy and Sarah, and luxury chocolates. &amp;quot;Kids are growing up a lot quicker these days and turning eight is the new 18,&amp;quot; Sarah added. &amp;quot;But Poppy likes being in the \u00C2\u00ADlimelight. She loves money. She&amp;#039;s even got her own safe in her bedroom. My children are all well-rounded. I think they&amp;#039;re very fortunate to have a mother like me.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
