Inspiration Behind The Idea
Sydney remembers being intrigued by body modification since childhood, and first came across neck elongation when learning about the tribal collective of Thailand-Burma. Having always had a longer-than-usual neck, to begin with, her obsession soon turned into reality and she felt she now deserved the somewhat unforgiving high school nickname. One that she would soon come to own and proudly call herself. She would end up having the last laugh, as the crude comments would be taken as compliments.

Testing 1, 2, 3
Having studied the photos of women from long-necked tribes extensively, her first test would involve wrapping coathangers around her neck while she slept. Friends and family thought she had lost her mind, but she was determined to keep going. They also worried that she would end up strangling herself. At the time she believed this would be the way to achieve the same results she had seen in the pictures. Soon, she would be taking a more formal approach.
