The Shocking Story of a Woman Who Transformed Herself into a Giraffe!
Rings of Inspiration
Sydney always admired the graceful long necks of giraffes. She recalled a unique tradition from her teenage readings about the Kayans of Southeast Asia, known for their elongated necks adorned with brass rings. This ignited a spark in her. Adopting this practice, she saw a path to mirror her beloved favorite animals.
The Kayans, part of the Tibeto-Burman ethnic minority, predominantly reside in Myanmar’s Kayah and Shan states, with communities also in Vietnam, Thailand, and even the United States. Sydney’s pursuit of a giraffe-like appearance was more than a personal choice; it was a deep dive into a rich cultural heritage.
