I found it very interesting to contrast the remaking of Rosetta as herself to the remaking of Olive and Marinne. When Rosetta asked to be someone she was not, she remained herself--she could only long to be somebody else. However, Olive and Marinne asked to look like themselves, and the hairdresser interpreted their hair as an extension of their personalities. It almost seemed as if Rosetta could not achieve her makeover and what she wanted until she realized that she had to find herself--beyond external appearances and SRAs. She mentioned earlier that she created the SRAs to have more time and so they could do menial labor, but they also seemed to serve as a side of her repressed behavior as a scientist and a woman. Rosetta even tried to fake being Ruby to save her SRAs by implying that she had desires to be someone she wasn't. It almost seemed that Teknolust portrayed the tragedy of a female's existence--she can never be herself, even when she has the opportunity to have multiple personalities through clones.
