Steatopygia= Fat Buttocks

 

Venus of Willendorf 

The following notable persons recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

• Allan Moffat(10 November 1939 – 22 November 2025) 86, Australian racing driver
• Joseph K. Munyao (4 May 1940 – 22 November 2025) 85, Kenyan politician

The surname Moffat caught my eye given that it’s an addition to the recent and prolific  “Fat in Name” pattern cluster, and then his date of birth, November 10th, jives along, …  given that the cluster comes up in my recent November 10th post, Lee, Ladd, Gott, Fatt, Cobb and Scales of Justice ...: 

• Cheng Tong Fatt (1929 – 4 November 2025)
• Fatos Thanas Nano (16 September 1952 – 31 October 2025)

 For one, we have a “Fat (x2) in Name” pattern cluster in the works.  

And from there,  many other posts and leads have circumvented around the “fat theme”. I also have the sense that the inner twin world are trying to draw us back to Wikipedia’s Notable Deaths site, and notably to those who passed away on November 10th.  While perusing the list I kept my mind open to anything that may show a cryptic relation to “fat”, and then I came to one: 

Jonathan Pienaar (16 September 1962 – 10 November 2025) 63, South African actor (Skin, Black Venus, Fried Barry)

Even though the “pie” in his surname does sort of jive (eating too much pie is one way to build fat), butt it was his film “Black Venus” that is definitely “fat” related, reminding me of the Venus of Willendorf… and  it immediately brought to mind two Venus’ that I knew of, the first being the Venus of Willendorf (see photo above, and I know that Sarah Baartman was referred to as the “Black Venus” or “Hottentot Venus”…, names that are considered derogatory today.  

Note from the film, Black Venus,  wikipedia page from the list of cast: 

Yahima Torres as Sarah Baartman

Before continuing, Sarah Baartman had a condition called steatopygia, which is the accumulation of large amounts of fat in her buttocks. This was a physical trait, not necessarily an indicator of her overall body weight, and was a key reason she was displayed in European "freak shows". 

Note from Sarah’s wikipedia page:

In Janet Shibamoto's book review of Deborah Cameron's book Feminism and Linguistic Theory, Shibamoto discusses Cameron's study on the patriarchal context within language, which consequentially influences the way in which women continue to be contained by or subject to ideologies created by the patriarchy

Note the following concerning Deborah Cameron:  

Deborah Cameron (born 10 November 1958)

So, an addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster. 

On the Venus of Willendorf wikipedia page: 

The Venus of Willendorf is an 11.1-centimetre-tall (4.4 in) Venus figurine estimated to have been made c. 30,000 years ago.^[1][2] It was recovered on 7 August 1908 from an archaeological dig conducted by Josef Szombathy, Hugo Obermaier, and Josef Bayer at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria 

Note the following info on the two mentioned:  

• Josef Szombathy (11 June 1853 – 9 November 1943) 
• Hugo Obermaier (29 January 1877 – 12 November 1946)

We now have a “November 9, 10, __, 12/Date Sequence” pattern cluster in the works.
