Sarah (Venus) suffers from Steatopygia, which means that she has curves that defy nature and that also defy the rest of her body. She quickly becomes extremely popular in the sideshow, as Europeans travel to see her genitalia and voluptuous buttocks on display.

The main attraction ofVenus is her physical appearance, particularly her body, which is exoticized and objectified by Western audiences. The character, based on the historical figure Sarah Baartman (often called the "Hottentot Venus"), is put on display due to her unique body shape, specifically her large buttocks, which European audiences view as a spectacle.
