# Please, Look at This Airborne Barbie Mustang

Recently, because The Internet likes to concern itself with flotsam, there was a minor furor over a [commercial for the latest Barbie](<https://youtu.be/TULVRlpsNWo>): Moschino Barbie. For the first time, a Barbie advertisement featured a boy. While wearing a very stylish—some might say proto-gay—haircut, the young kid mentions that Moschino Barbie is “so fierce.” He’s not wrong; for a half-century old toy, Barbie is *very* fierce. Her hair is on trend. Her shoes on point. Her chains are on fleek. If you’ve ever actually encountered a child, you know they sometimes like things they’re “not supposed to.” It’s cool to finally see big brands like [Target](<https://time.com/3989850/target-gender-signs/>), and now Mattel, recognize as much.

Aaron “Crum” Sauvage certainly wasn’t put off by his mini-car’s color scheme. The stuntman, a regular at New Zealand’s Nitro Circus, a major venue for stunts and general wheeled buffoonery, seems to be enjoying his special-edition Mustang. Congrats to him on the successful stunt, and to Barbie-loving guys the world over. Real men like what they like, peanut gallery be damned.
