The chamber of an MRI machine is a surreal environment. You're flat on a slab and fed into a tube. Inside, it's dark and noisy, intermittent clangs reverberating around your head. I've always attributed this chaotic banging to atoms ricocheting, doing quantum stuff, rendering the invisible visible. Bones, organs, blood vessels exposed. Dodgy cell clusters held up to the light for a radiologist's inspection. MRI is short for "magnetic resonance imaging," so presumably magnets are involved. I don't know how. I'm not a scientist. I do know I find getting an MRI an existentially jarring experience. Before the technician loads you into the machine, you are you an individual with ideas and plans and memories; inside the machine, you are a body. I don't like MRIs. And yet, on a gray day last December, I find myself at the Prenuvo clinic on 34th Street in New York City, a stone's throw from the Penn Station train that will soon whisk me upstate, getting scanned head to toe for the hell of it. Because I want to peer into the black box of my body. Because I want to live.
Prenuvo is the best known among a generation of biotech start-ups offering preventive whole-body scans. Its promise is that, by voluntarily submitting yourself to an MRI every year or so, you'll be able to keep tabs on your health and catch maladies early, when they're easy to treat or, better yet, reversible via lifestyle changes. This sounds so terribly logical-who wouldn't rather discover a malignant tumor before it metastasizes?-that it's tempting to wonder why no one thought of it before. Surely there's no harm in giving people a God's-eye view of their inner workings.

Coming Up Rosy - The new blush isn't just for the cheek. Coco Mellors feels the flush.
If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our cheeks are the back door. What other part of the body so readily reveals our hidden emotions? Embarrassment, exuberance, delight, desire, all instantly communicated with a rush of blood. It's no wonder that blush has been a mainstay of makeup bags for decades: Ancient Egyptians used ground ochre to heighten their color; Queen Elizabeth I dabbed her cheeks with red dye and mercuric sulfide (which, combined with the vinegar and lead concoction she used to achieve her ivory pallor, is believed to have given her blood poisoning); flappers applied blush in dramatic circles to achieve a doll-like complexion, even adding it to their knees to draw attention to their shorter hemlines
