The Motivation
Sydney was always fascinated with body modification, specifically the tribal women of Thailand and Burma. ” “I’ve always had a long neck,” said Sydney. “In middle school, they called me ‘giraffe girl’. Then I saw pictures of the long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burma in National Geographic and I became fascinated with them.”

While her parents found this to be completely ridiculous, she persisted. She really thought that this nighttime ritual would help elongate her neck.
