We’ve told you about the amazing college class that teaches you the art of selfie-taking, as well as what we can only assume will be its mandatory textbook.

But this genius invention takes the cake for the MVP of selfie education. It’s called the Belfie Stick and it wants to help you show off your bootay.

Because 2014 was officially The Year Of The Butt -- thanks to backside-blessed celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj -- the Belfie Stick is the tool we’ve all been waiting for... even if we didn’t realize we needed it in the first place.

The contraption looks a lot like your basic selfie stick, except there’s a bendable part at the end that lets you capture your booty in all its glory.

In case you’re wondering, people have already tested it out and given rave reviews. A sampling:

“I got my squat game down on lock shooting belfies every day to check up on my progress! I am so totally in love with this product, my girlfriend agrees it's totally bad ass!”

- Marcos from Miami, FL

“I never again have to take pics in the bathroom. I can't tell you how many times Ive dropped my iphone trying to take pics. I love it! Thank God they invented belfiestick!”

- Lauren from Los Angeles, CA

“I can't believe they invented this, it's totally insane! Everyone is hurtin holding their phones trying to get the right precise angle. Bend over, snap a pic & done! Belfiestick rulez!!!.”

- Ellen from Lansing, MI

So there you have it, folks: the Belfie Stick is here and it can be yours for a cool $80. Or you can, you know, stick to just using your iPhone. It clearly works for Kim.
