The Motivation
Body modification had always fascinated Sydney, especially the tribal women of Thailand and Burma. She said that she always had a long neck. She also mentioned that when she was still in middle school, she was being called “the giraffe girl.” Then when she saw pictures of the long-necked tribes from Thailand and Burma in National Geographic, she said that she became more fascinated with them.

The Motivation
Experimenting
After seeing the pictures of long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burman, Sydney decided to cut up her coat hangers and wear them around her neck every time she went to bed. Even though her parents found it to be completely ridiculous, she still continued to do it. She believed that doing this practice every night will stretch her neck.
