  • "high-up selfie," a vertigo-inducing, rooftop selfie mimicking the top of Los Angeles' tallest building allowing you to take a high-up selfie without the risk of falling to your death;
  • the popular "bathroom selfie," a two-sided room that lacks self-reflection but excellent for trick photography;
  • the "car selfie" a VW bug covered in mirrors, offering the perfect perspective from every angle and makes you reflect on how many people take selfies while driving.
