Woman spends $35,000 to look exactly like Kim Kardashian

A 24-year-old has opened up about her quest to look exactly like reality star Kim Kardashian - and her transformation hasn't come cheap.
Claire Leeson claims she's already spent an estimated $35,000 on breast implants, hair extensions, spray tans, makeup and clothing in an attempt to emulate her idol, and she is preparing to move on to Kardashian's most well-known, ahem, ass-et next.
Appearing on a British TV show, the Essex resident explained that the extreme measures she's taken to look more like Kanye West's wife were done in an attempt to gain self-confidence after being bullied as a teen.

"I've had my teeth whitened, then I wanted my boobs enhanced... and with pictures [of Kardashian] explained to my surgeon that I wanted to look like this," she told the hosts of This Morning.

"I also wear bum padding - it's a silicone base. Pants with silicone inside."
Leeson says the pads "feel very real" but that she is still planning on having surgery to increase the size of her backside, because "my bum is never going to be as big as Kim's is," she said.
According to online reports, Leeson became obsessed with Kim Kardashian after friends told her she resembled the star.
