I bet even Kanye West is jealous.

SHE’S one of the most glamorous women in the world — but just how much would you pay to look like Kim Kardashian?
For 25-year-old Brit Claire Leeson, that would be around $30,000. The Essex woman has shelled out that much on hair extensions, breast implants, spray tans and make-up in a bid to emulate her favourite star.

Appearing on UK chat show This Morning yesterday, Leeson detailed the costly process, which has taken more than seven years so far.

“Firstly I started getting my teeth whitened — which I started doing at 17/18,” she said on the show.
“Then I wanted my boobs enhanced to the same size as Kim’s.”

hey guys with the exact amount of siblings as the kardsashians id like you to meet the REAL british kim kardashian

And how does she emulate Kim’s famous shapely derrière? Well, she hasn’t opted for surgery — yet.

this is what you can achieve if u spend every day of your life in the gym so proud of my bigger bum xxxxxx

“I wear pants with a silicone implant inside. I didn’t wear them today as they didn’t go with my dress. They feel fairly real.”
“I’m currently researching [real] implants and having fat transferred from all areas of my body put into my bum.”
Asked why she had undergone this costly, time-consuming extreme makeover, Leeson said it had been a bid to boost her self-confidence after being bullied as a teenager.

“I was badly bullied at school and it took me two years to realise that I wasn’t [what the bullies were calling me]. I was told every day that I was the ‘ugliest thing alive’ and I should ‘kill myself’.”

And here’s a fresh-faced Claire, looking markedly less similar to Kim K:

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Damn. Well... It worked. She looks like Kim.

Shame I don't find Kim attractive. ;P

 

[Kayhan]

She looks better without the makeup.

 

[oxidax]

Now im gonna go spend some money to look like Kanye and find this girl so we can marry.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

she wants to look like someone that doesn't like themselves. Hey, go for it i guess.

She looks better without the makeup.

I agree completely.

 

[sappyday]

Well better than that one dude who used it to look more like Justin Bieber and the one that used it to look Jennifer Lawrence.

So kudos

 

[Magwik]

Where is the pic of those Australian(?) sisters? Seems relevant.

 

[.GqueB.]

Worked out fine. Good for her I say.

 

[Kinyou]

I'm not sure if this is the right way to handle bullying but at least she seems happy.

 

[speculawyer]

Crazy

 

[HerbertFish]

Usually these end in disaster but this one actually looks like her.

 

[JDSN]

This things usually work out wrong, but she looks nice, good for her.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I'll never understand people who want to look like stars. Specially those who go to such extremes.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

Damn. Well... It worked. She looks like Kim.

Shame I don't find Kim attractive. ;P

Pretty much this. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but she always looked too fake and plasticy to me. I like girls who look natural. I don't even like fake boobs.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

She went from a modest, good looking lass to a fake looking mannequin of a woman. Such a shame.

 

[Busty]

These are the actions of a perfectly healthy mind.

Yes Sir. No problems here.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

Where is the pic of those Australian(?) sisters? Seems relevant.

are they hot?

need more info

 

[Certinty]

That's just messed up.

Perhaps even more messed up for me because I think Kim Kardashian is rather unattractive.

 

[sixteen-bit]

She went from a modest, good looking lass to a fake looking mannequin of a woman. Such a shame.

Does she feel better about herself though? I think that's what she's after, not impressing you.

 

[nateeasy]

How much did Kim Kardashian spend to look like Kim Kardashian?

 

[mackattk]

It is sad that she was pushed to do this from stupid kids in a high school.

Looks better without the makeup. The pictures with the makeup look pretty awful IMO.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Does she feel better about herself though? I think that's what she's after, not impressing you.

Well good for her, but my god I consider that a downgrade.

 

[Sub_Level]

My penis gives it thumb up apparrently judging by southern sensations, so she looks great by me.

 

[GorillaJu]

Sad for her that she feels she needs to do this. She looks very pretty without makeup, dare I say much better than Ms Kardashian does.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Well better than that one dude who used it to look more like Justin Bieber and the one that used it to look Jennifer Lawrence.

So kudos

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Im actually.....

impressed.

 

[Protein]

She looked better before. This is sort of sad, but if she feels better about herself I guess.

 

[toastyToast]

She looks good. That makeup though lmao

 

[cheststrongwell]

I think doing this is stupid, but at least it looks like she has a good plastic surgeon.

 

[.GqueB.]

Does she feel better about herself though? I think that's what she's after, not impressing you.

Pretty much. I'm curious to see the reactions in this thread though. We just had one similar to this and I'm wondering if the sentiment will align.

 

[Trojan X]

She looks better without the makeup.

Agreed.

 

[DoktorEvil]

I really dig her natural look vs the IG looking dolled up Kim.

All the more power to her if this was how she dealt with bullying.

 

[zma1013]

If you told me this was one of those wax figures of Kim Kardashian, I'd believe you.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

She looks better without the makeup.

I agree.

 

[Aiii]

Whoever the surgeon was that did this, should have been the guy Justin Bieber-dude used.

Well done surgeon. It's not for me, but whatever makes you happy I suppose.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Way better than expected. 30K well spent if it makes her happy.

I agree, still I need better pics though.

 

[Sean]

She gets bullied and called ugly, then spends $30,000 on plastic surgery to look like a celebrity? That's an odd and expensive way to get back at them.

I'd say the bullies won.

 

[Pluto]

She's really pretty in the picture without make-up, I don't like her Kim look at all.

 

[Summer Haze]

The Essex woman.

I knew it would be an Essex girl before i even clicked the thread. She doesn't look as bad as i thought she was going to look, but that makeup is ridiculous.

 

[neorej]

She looks like the Chinese unlicensed Barbie-doll of Kim Kardashian TBH.

 

[Two Words]

Which one looks more like a real human?

 

[Palmer_v1]

I'm gonna need to see a sex tape with her and a shitty rapper before we can really compare the two.

 

[BHK3]

Why is there no before pic?

 

[MJLord]

Oh god whyyyy D:

 

[Reckoner]

Please stop. So much better without make up...

 

[Hixx]

I knew it would be an Essex girl before i even clicked the thread. She doesn't look as bad as i thought she was going to look, but that makeup is ridiculous.

Seriously. As soon as I saw "Brit" it was just so obvious she'd be from Essex.

She looks weird with the makeup on, fairly bonny without it.

 

[A Serious Man]

If she'd calm down with the make-up she'd look just fine.

 

[GladiatoR]

Good for her I suppose. It did work to some degree and as others have said, it didn't turn out awful like that Bieber dude and other past cases.

Personally though, I can't see why someone would spend so much money to alter themselves to look like somebody else. I can understand people fixing things they find personally wrong with themselves. Such as having a nose job etc. But that would still result in you looking like you, not trying to be somebody else entirely.

But still, whatever makes people happy.

 

[samus i am]

She looks more like Snookie.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Worth it
