The Intriguingly Mysterious Story of Sydney Smith, The Giraffe-Necked Woman
Matching Wardrobe with the Circles
The bands brought with them new fad options for the Los Angeles native. She discovered that some of her clothing didn’t match her now cherished copper bands. Her wardrobe needed a change, so she went shopping and bought herself new outfits to coordinate with her gems.
According to Sydney, the rings meant “beauty and grace” among the Kayans, so she needed to bring more sophistication to her life. She claims it was inadvertent; it happened organically with the circles. Sydney would even wrap a native Kayan color band, a strip of linen, around her neckpiece to express her great rapport with the Kayan people.
