 | [quote]Given that Brogan Mackay was born with not so much a silver spoon as a �25 Burberry designer dummy in her mouth, it is perhaps no surprise that she is growing up with rather expensive tastes. In 11 short years she has graduated from �180 white Gucci loafers, bought by her mother, Alison, before Brogan could even toddle, to �475 Jimmy Choo sandals, and now has a wardrobe stuffed with designer outfits and handbags to match. Her bedroom is strewn with Chanel and Prada handbags. A Gucci bag lies tossed to one side, and is that the latest Louis Vuitton lurking beneath a sequinned cushion? Indeed it is, for Brogan likes to start each school year with a new �It� bag. If there was a GCSE in designer labels, Brogan would be on course for a triple-starred A. And when she tires of all her designer clobber, she can amuse herself with her �550 flatscreen TV, iPhone and �1,300 worth of top brand computer equipment so she can keep up-to-date with the very latest trends and showbiz gossip about her favourite idols. It will not surprise you to learn that her role models are such luminaries as Paris Hilton, Katie Price and sexually provocative pop star Lady GaGa, whose choice of outfit often consists of knickers and little else. Brogan, remember, is just 11, and has just finished primary school. On top of all these designer purchases is the cost of Brogan�s make-up, nail extensions, hair highlights and the fake tanning sessions - paid for by the bank of Mum and Dad. The total amount her parents have lavished on her over the past 11 years is in excess of �150,000 - enough to put towards a much bigger home than the three-bedroom flat in Glasgow where Alison, 28, a part-time pharmacy dispenser and hairdresser lives with Brogan�s father Stephen, 28, a supervisor at a plumbers� merchants, and their younger daughter, Carys, aged five. �When I think of all the money we have spent on Brogan over the years, even I can�t believe it. Her first outfit as a newborn was Baby Dior,� says Alison, who appears to equate love with lavishing consumer goods on her firstborn. �She is spoilt, probably the most spoilt child in Britain. She has everything she needs but I just can�t stop. Whenever I see anything nice I think �Oh, Brogan would like that.� � While Brogan is clad in designer labels, Alison says she can only afford to dress herself and the rest of the family in High Street brands. Her younger daughter, Carys, Alison says, is a very easy-going child with no interest in designer clothes and is happy with whatever she is given. �I can�t go into a shop without buying Brogan something. She enjoys being pampered because it makes her feel grown up. She�s always been obsessed with her looks and I�m happy to work extra hours to buy her new clothes. It makes me proud.� She adds: �It�s not that I don�t spend money on Carys - I like both my girls to look nice and people are always commenting about how lovely their clothes are - it�s just that Brogan really cares about her appearanc |
