ABOUT
Burlesque Hall of Fame 2020/21 | Miss Burlesque Australia 2020/21 | Miss Burlesque NSW 2020
"Diesel Darling is a force to be reckoned with; it's no wonder her rise to stardom has been fast and furious. Affectionately known as the Danger Barbie, this full tank of gas fuses the classic with the unimaginably dangerous and manages to squeeze in a few laughs.
Years of dance and theatre training combined with her love of champagne results in one beautifully bubbly showgirl. However, this little Darling has a wild side (and an irrationally lacking sense of danger) resulting in an electrifying range of performance styles and skillsets. Known for high kicking to the heavens, splitting every which way possible, sparks grinding off her chest, swimming in giant glasses of champagne and draping herself in serpents, Diesel is sure to get your motor running and your engine purring.
This smooth ride co-produces the rock n’ roll Burlesque show Wanted and Wild and rocked the stage at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Diesel also wowed the crowds around Australia as headliner of The Australian Burlesque Festival 2018. So strap yourself in for one fuel-injected show as you ride shotgun with Diesel Darling." —MX Burlesque Australia

"Diesel Darling is pure poetry on long legs walking through, Ipanema hips swaying like a samba. All peach fans and floral notes of Carmen Miranda until the Macarena banger begins. She kicks the crowd into a conga line which turns into a dance party reminiscent of Carnival onstage!"
