Big, Long Dreams

When someone talks about body modification, you think of tattoos, implants, and piercings. However, some people so desperately want to change their appearance that they’ll undergo extreme changes to achieve their desired look. This was the case of one Sydney Smith, also known as “Giraffe Woman.”

Sydney is a Los Angeles, California resident who took body modification a mile too far. She was determined to go against all odds and pay the price to lengthen her neck and look like her favorite animal, the giraffe. Though it appeared to be an obsession to many, she saw it as a dream, and she pursued it diligently.
