Woman Decides To Take Giraffe Obsession To Next Level

There are various kinds of friends. Some of them are artistic, some are athletic, while some are just plain odd! We adore all of them, big or tiny!

Sydney Smith, sometimes referred to as “Giraffe Woman,” took a great deal of time to stretch her neck in order to imitate her favorite animal, the giraffe. She immediately halted the procedure. She seems like this right now.

Real Deal

Sydney Smith, a Los Angeles resident wanted a longer neck for as long as she could remember. It was more than just a phase for her.

Her obsession started at a young age and showed no signs of slowing down. As a child, children would call her Giraffe Neck ironically enough!

Epiphany

She always felt insecure about her long neck as her peers used to mock her for it. She wanted nothing more than to be like everyone else.

However, all that changed when Sydney stumbled upon a National Geographic documentary. The documentary was about the tribal women of Thailand and Burma. These women were known to elongate their necks, and Sydney was fascinated. She no longer felt like her long neck was a curse.

Sydney also loved the giraffe and it all became clear to her. She knew exactly what she needed to do! Her parents, on the other hand, were not as supportive of her.

Indecisive

Sydney’s parents believed that she would quickly grow out of this phase. All teenagers go through strange things and they wrote it off like that.

Sydney knew that this meant more to her than some silly phase…

When Sydney turned 18, she was declared an adult. This now meant that she could make her own choices. Despite that, she was hesitant to start her neck lengthening process. She had her doubts, but they all faded away when she saw a particular artist in a strange dress.

Inspiration

The dress that inspired Sydney was the legendary meat dress Lady Gaga wore at the VMA’s.

Lady Gaga was so unapologetically herself in that dress, Sydney was in awe. Despite choosing an odd dress to wear, Lady Gaga owned it. That encouraged Sydney to go on her own unique journey. Sydney was finally ready to start her neck lengthening process.

She approached a friend who worked in body modifications to help her add her first rings.
