Beauty Standards Among the Kayan Tribe of Burma

I chose this picture because I had no idea women stack these coils in order to lengthen their neck. They alter their bodies just because it is considered a way to attract men. They first start wearing them to make their necks look longer; however, over time they begin to add more coils to actually alter the length of their neck. This eventually makes their neck longer and pushes their shoulders down. I can’t believe I have never seen or heard about this before. This is another example of how different standards for women are all around the world.
