The usual/agreed thought about these figurines, has been that they are representations of goddesses/fecundity. The tiny statuettes are thought to represent a pregnant woman; that is why the arms are very thin, while the rest of the body is not. The reason that there never is an engraved face ( except for the bird headed ones ) is because it is a female ideal and not any particular woman.
The picture you posted, from Russian, is very similar to the very well known Venus of Willendorf.

I find it amusing that one find a handful of figurines and suddenly they become representative of a culture. A molar and some bone fragments become a wondrous new source of scientific funding because they are interpreted as a possible human ancestor.
I would venture that the reason curvaceous boyish girls have become so popular is because so many fashion designers are homosexual. It is not because most men desire woman who look like young boys it is because those who decide what is fashionable like young boys. I do believe that the increasing acceptance of sexual androgyny has fueled increase in molestation and sexual confusion but what do I know. lol

According to Rick Potts “these paleolithic or ancient stone-tool people made one simple implement for nearly a million years.” According to Potts, the stone axe “was the Swiss Army knife of the paleolithic period.”
The fact that these Paleolithic Venus objects were around for thousands of years does not mean that much in light of unchanging stone axes for a million years.
My guess is these Paleolithic Venuses were carved by women not men. I see women as having more time on their hands than men who are out hunting with “Swiss Army” knives. Most likely these “women” would be young girls who are about to “marry” and who desire to be fertile and have babies. Somehow they used these Paleolithic Venuses (perhaps in coming of age ceremonies) as votives to be fertile.
I see this as much more likely scenario than paleolithic porn.
Another scenario is the were collectibles (e.g beanie babies) with which some Stone Age Thomas Kinkade flooded the market.

Here's my explanation: Due to a nasty curve in the space-time continuum, early humans across the planet got glimpses of the View, starring Rosie O'Donnell. Some of the shaman even saw clips of a Presidential news conference with Helen Thomas speaking.
These "visions" caused the carving of these figures. They were to propitiate these "goddesses," in the hopes that they would never appear on the face of the Earth. Of course, we've stopped making those figurines, and there you are.

Yeah, I knew that there were many similarities, I’m not sure if you could consider it a re-write though. Maybe loosely based upon.

Down at the Lido they welcome you With sausage and beer Klaus and The Rooster have been there too But lately he spends his time here
Hangin' with the Mayor and all his friends And nobody cares Where the sailor shuts out the sunrise Blacked out on the stairs
Knock twice, rap with your cane Feels nice, you're out of the rain We got your skinny girl Here at the Western World
Ruthie will give you the silver key To open the red door Lay down your Jackson and you will see The sweetness you've been cryin' for
In the night you hide from the madman You're longing to be But it all comes out on the inside Eventually
Knock twice, rap with your cane Feels nice, you're out of the rain We got your skinny girl Here at the Western World

You got it all figured out in that one.
A young man we know found that his route to fame and friendship, if not fortune, in highschool was to draw portraits of the football player's girlfriends.
He enhanced them suitibly. Guys tell him they still have those pictures 6 years later!
