Not even a commute can keep this woman from working on a solid selfie.
Saturday evening, Ben Yahr was riding the subway in New York when he caught a full-on selfie show. Yahr recorded the woman fiercely striking poses in the train car, and capturing them with the selfie timer on her cell phone.

The nearly minute-long recording went incredibly viral and has received more than 7 million views on Twitter, and thousands of comments praising the woman’s “confidence.”
