The Motivation
According to Sydney, “I’ve always had a long neck,” “in middle school, they called me a “giraffe girl”. Then I saw pictures of the long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burma in National Geographic and I became fascinated with them”. Ever since the discovery of the tribal women of Thailand and Burma, Sydney has become fascinated with body modification.
Experimenting
Sydney then decided to mimic the procedure of the long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burma. She wrapped her neck using the improvised coat hangers when she sleeps at night. She continued through her parents considered this to be utterly insane. In order to elongate her neck, she believed that this method would do the job on a nightly basis.
