The Motivation
She was fixated on body modification ever since she was a kid and grew fascinated with the tribal women of Thailand and Burma. ” “I’ve always had a long neck,” said Sydney. “In middle school, they called me ‘giraffe girl’. After she saw pictures of long-necked tribes in Thailand and Burma in National Geographic she became obsessed with them.
Experimenting
