Real Life Barbie Scoops Life Story Film Contract with Japanese TV

A woman from St. Neots in Cambridgeshire - who has had more than £200,000-worth of cosmetic surgery - has signed an exclusive contract to have a film of her life story produced and broadcast in Japan.

NTV (Nippon Television) - Japan's first national TV network - has swooped to sign up 46-year-old Sarah Burge for the company’s top-rated The World Astonishing News show. Filming in Cambridgeshire has already been completed.

The show is now in production and will be aired to an expected audience of more than two and a half million Japanese TV viewers in September. This will be the first time Sarah’s story has been told on TV anywhere in the world.

Mother-of-three Sarah, know in the media as the Real Life Barbie, said,

“I’m absolutely delighted with the filming. I’ve always been a colourful character and I knew it would only be a matter of time before it captured the imagination of film producers.

“The Japanese production has been extremely efficient and thorough. In fact their research revealed life events that even I’d forgotten about! I can’t wait to see the finished version.”

The film will feature a combination of live shots of Sarah and family in and around her home town of St Neots. It will also include dramatised versions of key events in Sarah’s life played out by Japanese actors and actresses.

The story takes the viewers from Sarah’s first cosmetic procedure at the age of nine and goes on to reveal Sarah’s experiences as a Playboy bunny girl and now as an aesthetic consultant and international cosmetic surgery ambassador.

Only last month Sarah revealed that she had also been invited to star in a horror film which is expected to go into production later in the year. But filming for that project may now have to be re-arranged around a personal promotional tour in Japan before Sarah’s life story is broadcast.

Sarah adds,

“There is so much to organise between now and September. The response to my previous interviews and media appearances has been a little overwhelming. I’ve had thousands of emails from well wishers.

“I want to make the most of this new opportunity. I’m looking forward to making contact with a whole new audience in Japan – and helping even more people to appreciate the life-enhancing benefits of cosmetic surgery.”

The interest from Japan is the latest in along line of media interest both in this country and throughout the world including Singapore, Russia, Norway and Italy.

Sarah’s previous national UK media appearances on Richard and Judy, GMTV, Radio 5 and Radio 4 have generated hundreds of thousands of hits on her website www.reallifebarbie.com

Richard and Judy TV Horror Show Scoops Debut Film Role for Real Life Barbie

A UK woman who has had more than £200,000-worth of cosmetic surgery has been cherry picked for a leading role in a UK horror film after being unable to disguise her anger during a live TV interview.

46-year old Sarah Burge from St. Neots near Cambridge was one of three interviewees invited to debate the issue of cosmetic surgery on the live show aired on Friday 30^th March which also featured award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais.

But as the interview progressed Sarah’s answers were rudely talked over by the hosts and afterwards she was completely ignored by celebrity-obsessed production team at the end of series party.

Sarah, who is famous for her surgically-enhanced body, received hundreds of emails from fans upset that she’d been so poorly treated on the show.

She said,

“I was bloody furious! Before I went on air I was completely blanked by both the hosts – despite greeting them. And Richard Madeley blanked me as I greeted him again in the post show party. I wasn’t expecting the red carpet treatment but a little common courtesy would have been nice.

“This world is new to me. You think these people are wonderful and approachable when you watch them on TV – but my experience is the exact opposite.

“Ricky Gervais was one of the guests that night – and the whole crew were fawning round him like he was royalty. But Gervais could barely summon a grunt as he skulked around like the whole event was beneath him.”

Sarah’s supressed anger during the interview demonstrated qualities award-winning film maker Martin Marshall from NRG Films wanted for a key role in a new horror film.

The film called ‘Psycho Surgeon’ will go into production later this year and will be screened at film festivals throughout the world. Sarah plays the part of a cosmetic surgeon who takes people’s body parts for herself.

Martin Marshall said,

“The role is perfect for Sarah. To be honest I rarely watch the Richard and Judy programme. But as the interview progressed there was something engaging about her. The cosmetic surgery link is a complete co-incidence. All I know is that she looks great on screen and audiences will love her.”

Sarah’s previous national UK media appearances on GMTV, Radio 5 and Radio 4 have generated hundreds of thousands of hits on her website www.reallifebarbie.com. And she hopes her big screen opportunity will be equally well received.

Sarah adds,

“The new film role has made the whole sorry event worthwhile. It’s a wonderful new opportunity for me so I’m happy to let bygones be bygones with Richard and Judy. In fact, I’d be happy to appear as a guest when I promote the film launch. I’d even waive my fee in return for a little courtesy!”

But all that will have to wait when her new modelling career takes off.

Sarah added,

“I remember being told when I was younger to commission a portfolio of photographs while I still had my looks. It feels like I’m being given a second chance and I intend to grasp it with both hands.

“I need to think carefully which magazine or newspaper publishes the exclusive first photo shoot. But after that who knows! Thanks to cosmetic surgery there’s no reason why I couldn’t be glamour modelling when I’m in my 60’s.”

“I’m committed to being a huge success. And hopefully I can inspire other women to follow in my footsteps. If I can do it, anyone can.”

Is Sarah the UK’s Oldest Woman to Prove She’s 18 Year’s Old?

A 46-year-old mother of three from St Neots in Cambridgeshire has been asked for proof of age at her local Tesco store. She is believed to be the oldest woman in the country to prove that she is old enough to buy alcohol.

Sarah Burge said,

“It has been almost 30 years since I was last asked to prove my age before this! At first I was stunned. But when it had all sunk in I was actually delighted. I’ve invested a lot of time and energy in my appearance and it’s not unusual for people to think I’m younger than I am.

“But to think I might have passed for under 18 is absolutely wonderful. I could have kissed the assistant! I’m going to buy all my alcohol at Tesco from now on!”

Real Life Barbie: “Cosmetic Procedure Figures are Wake Up Call for Surgery Critics.”

Sarah Burge – known as Real Life Barbie – has welcomed the latest boost in cosmetic surgery figures as a milestone in ridding society of the stigma surrounding ordinary people who choose to invest in their appearance.

The 46-year old mother of three from St. Neots in Cambridgeshire, who has had more than £180,000-worth of cosmetic procedures, hopes the increase in popularity is an indication that people who have had cosmetic surgery will soon receive the respect they deserve.

According to figures released this week by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps), in the UK, total cosmetic operations were up 31 per cent last year to almost 29,000. The Harley Medical Group, which runs 13 cosmetic surgery clinics nationwide, said the true total was at least three times as high, at 90,000 procedures.

Also according to Baaps, demand for liposuction rose by almost 90 per cent in 2006. Almost 3,500 women and 500 men chose the procedure to have excess fat removed.

Sarah says,

“The figures are fantastic news for anyone wanting to take control of the way they look. It takes discipline and commitment to maintain your looks, but sadly there is still a stigma about cosmetic surgery in a small section of society. It’s a minority motivated by jealousy and petty-minded disapproval of a perceived over-indulgence.

“Not everyone has my confidence - and I worry that individuals who may benefit from cosmetic procedures see this stigma as a barrier effectively preventing their freedom of choice and realising the looks and lifestyle they dream of.”

Sarah is turning her own dreams into reality with the help of more than 25 cosmetic procedures. She has recently enjoyed widespread UK TV and radio exposure, whilst national newspaper articles have been syndicated all over the world.

Coverage as far a field as Italy, Singapore, Norway, Australia, New Zealand and Russia have seen her www.reallifebarbie.com website receive as many as 20,000 visitors a day. Hundreds of personal emails from admirers have also flooded in including 20 proposals of marriage.

She has even been approached by men’s magazines to feature in photo shoots more commonly reserved for 20-something models.

Sarah is now adopted and ambassadorial role promoting the benefits of cosmetic surgery and championing the rights of individuals choosing cosmetic surgery to maintain their looks. Sarah would even be willing to have an operation in front of a live TV audience, if she felt that more people would become open to the benefits of cosmetic surgery as a consequence.

Sarah adds,

“There are crazy double standards at play. The same minority of people who disapprove of my cosmetic procedures will then gush over the celebrity press and comment – rightly so - on how wonderful public figures like Sharon Osbourne and Demi Moore look. Ordinary people who invest in their appearance deserve that level of respect too.”

“My own lifestyle choice to maintain my appearance using cosmetic procedures always draws a reaction. And thankfully it’s usually supportive and complimentary. I have never been happier. And the more people who get an opportunity to experience the same level of happiness in their lives – the better.”

Will Real Life Barbie be Hollywood’s First Ever Cosmetic Surgery Ambassador

A Cambridgeshire 46-year-old mother of three, has been snapped up by a top American agent after worldwide media coverage about her controversial decision to undergo more than £180,000-worth of cosmetic procedures has propelled her into the media limelight.

Sarah Burge from St. Neots in Cambridgeshire has enjoyed widespread UK TV and radio exposure, whilst national newspaper articles have been syndicated all over the world. Coverage as far a field as Italy, Singapore, Norway, Australia, New Zealand and Russia have seen her www.reallifebarbie.com website receive as many as 20,000 visitors a day. Hundreds of personal emails from admirers have also flooded in including 20 proposals of marriage.

Sarah – who is also referred to by the media as the ‘Real Life Barbie’ - said,

“It’s all been a blur - like a fairy tale. My decision to maintain my looks in this way has always generated a lot of interest. And I always hoped I’d be able to use that interest to tell as many people about the benefits of professional cosmetic surgery. The Hollywood opportunity has come out of the blue but I’m excited about the potential of reaching such a wide audience.”

Sarah’s agent in Hollywood, Sandra L. Joseph, was co-incidentally also Sarah’s brother’s agent – Trevor Goddard who starred in JAG and Pirates of the Caribbean. Despite meeting Sarah at Trevor’s funeral in 2003 Sandra only discovered her media potential by accident whilst surfing for internet news.

Sandra reveals,

“Sarah’s a natural. Her decision to have so many cosmetic procedures is plainly controversial – but she discusses it openly and has a fun no-holds-barred approach to TV interviews which makes her compulsive viewing.

“Better than that, she looks fabulous which opens a whole world of modelling opportunities too. She’s a welcome addition to my client roster and we look forward to her achieving big things in the future.”

Sarah now hopes to capitalise on her new found fame to help inspire others about the benefits of cosmetic surgery.

Sarah adds,

“There are so many inconsistencies when it comes to society’s response to cosmetic surgery. Celebrities are applauded for maintaining there youthful looks whilst people often disapproves of the average woman on the street who chooses cosmetic surgery to enhance their lifestyle. I hope I can help even out the balance.”

Sarah is also currently considering modelling offers with some of the world’s highest circulation Men’s magazines and has not ruled out being the first woman to have cosmetic surgery live on TV.

Italian Media Frenzy Leaves UK Cosmetic Surgery Ambassador’s Website in Meltdown

The newly-launched website of a woman who has had more than £100,000-worth of cosmetic surgery has received more than 20,000 visitors and more than 450 personal emails - including seven offers of marriage! – all from Italy in just two days.

The visits to www.reallifebarbie.com followed an unprecedented level of media interest in Italy.

And 46-year-old mother-of-three Sarah Burge from St. Neots in Cambridgeshire in the UK – referred to as The Real Life Barbie in the UK media - is now recruiting a top Italian celebrity agent to help meet the demand for her story from across the Mediterranean.

Sarah, who is currently recovering from a further £15,000-worth of cosmetic surgery, has been stunned by the response.

Sarah said,

“I’m completely amazed. To get so many complimentary emails is very flattering. But to get them all from Italy was incredible. There were many emails from women too who have approached me for advice about their own cosmetic procedures. And I’m happy to help out where I can.”

Sarah’s story was featured in a UK national Sunday magazine before being picked up by the Italian News Agency ANSA. From there her story and website was featured online in several high profile Italian weblogs and discussion forums, further fuelling the number of visitors to her website and the clamour for Italian-interest in her story.

Previously in the UK, Sarah’s recent controversial appearances on GMTV and Channel 5 alerted a host of agents to approach her about more TV work. And celebrity agent David Hahn from Celeb Agents is already in advanced negotiations with TV production companies after being cherry picked to mastermind Sarah’s burgeoning media career.

Sarah now hopes to visit Italy and meet some of the people who have taken such an interest in her story.

Sarah adds,

“I want to visit Italy soon. I’m especially curious to understand why Italy in particular has shown such an intense interest in my story. Although whatever the reason, I’m hugely grateful for the attention.

“It would be wonderful to talk to more Italians about my experiences. I want to spread the word that it’s OK to celebrate the achievements of people who are determined enough to take this level of care over their appearance.”

Sarah is now recuperating from surgery and wading through the emails in the hope she can respond to as many as possible. She is talking to merchandisers about a new range of posters and signed pictures to meet demand.
