Nathan‘It Was Always About The Rings’
In the beginning, Sydney herself really enjoyed the fact that people were interested in her look and their questions entertained her too. But after 5 years she was starting to get a little annoyed. She soon felt like she was not accepted by society. ‘It was always about the rings, it wasn’t about Sydney anymore. I tried sticking my neck out to make it work but logic kicked in after a while.’
New Freedom
5 years Sydney spent with the coils around her neck. She finally decided that the life she had to live due to the rings was just not worth it. She could not enjoy her daily activities and needed to be mindful of her neck rings always. ‘Unless you are willing to completely isolate yourself and you’re a trust fund baby and don’t ever need to leave the house, don’t ever need to drive, then maybe you can pull it off.’
Still ‘Giraffe Woman’
Even though she had taken off her neck coils, Sydney still sees herself to be the same and would still refer to herself as ‘Giraffe Woman.’ She has no regrets about trying to elongate her neck to resemble a giraffe even though it caused her body a lot of suffering. Sydney had bruises on her collarbone and it is clear that the reason behind it is the rings she put there for 5 long years.
Her Recovery
Sydney had a lot of bruises and stiffness around her neck region after removing her neck rings. But her doctors were pleasantly surprised to see she was healing up quicker than anticipated. Sydney spoke about her neck saying it was ‘very weak, kind of like arms on a toothpick,’ which was definitely not a recommended aspiration. Here are some other who went to extreme lengths to resemble their idols…
Nadya Suleman as Angelina Jolie

Her intention was to look like Angelina Jolie, however, her photos her post-surgery pictures do not prove so.

This is so far away from the place I’m in right now, to think of any celebrity.”
