The Motivation
Sydney was inspired by this form of body modification because she was influenced by the Thailand and Burma tribal people. “I have always had a long neck,” said Sydney. “They called me ‘giraffe girl’ in middle school. Then I saw pictures of the long-necked tribes in Thailand and in National Geographic in Burma and I was fascinated by them.”
Experimenting
After being inspired by the pictures of the long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burma, she decided to try it by cutting the coat hangers and wrapping them around her neck while she was asleep. Even her parents think this is absolutely insane, but she’s always determined to do it because she always hoped that this kind of practice would motivate her to make her neck longer.
