The Motivation
She always had a fascination with body modification, especially those practiced by tribal women in Burma and Thailand. “I’ve always had a long neck,” she explained, “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.”
The Motivation
Experimenting
After she saw the photos of long-necked tribal women in Burma and Thailand, she fashioned coils from coat hangers and used them around her neck before going to bed. Her parents thought that she was being ridiculous, but she kept doing this. She thought that it would make her neck longer.
