Mila is a star. Elite performer

I saw Mila perform before and hoped she would be a good addition to my party. She was way beyond that; she was THE ingredient to take my vision from good party to unforgettable experience. She listened well and knew exactly what I needed. She had great suggestions of other performers to add, how the layout could be optimized, and even timing/scheduling ideas that were perfect for my big plan. She arrived early, brought a handmade marquee sign that turned the feel of the performance area into a theatre. She was personable with every guest and totally immersed in our theme.

Mila La Machina is built to be a project manager, engineered to excite crowds, and precision-tuned to be unforgettable.

8 months later and my guests are still talking about Mila. We had mysteries, magicians, other dancers, even top bartenders mixing craft cocktails. But all anyone wants is more Mila.

A Stunning show! And super easy to work with!

We hired Mila to feature in our weekly cabaret in Chicago. It is a popular night and always sells out, so our audiences have come to expect top tier entertainment. She arrived early, had a warm bubbly personality, and then she DELIVERED! Her first set closed the first act and she brought the house down. It's always a gamble if someone you only know through instagram is as much of a powerhouse as they seem on socials; but we were so happy with our choice to make her the closer. The second and final set of the night, she performed her burlesque fire routine, and the response from the audience was unbelievable. We were blown away by our first interaction with Mila, and have since hired her for several more features and private events. She is a showstopper and a pleasure to work with.

Amazing headlining performer

I have been fortunate enough to have Mila perform at my clubs in multiple cities multiple times. The high energy and Darlene performances that this entertainer provides is unparalleled. Anytime I had Mila on the schedule I knew I was gonna have a packed house of returning customers for her witty charm, stunning beauty, and amazing talents. Her showmanship and personality make her a must have an ass sure win!

Influences and inspiration

Having truly begun my burlesque career on strip club stages and spent the past 7+ years touring the country as an award-winning feature entertainer, present day strip clubs have heavily influenced my burlesque shows. This translates into heavy audience connection, high energy, playful floorwork, and of course, booty shaking!

Performing classic burlesque is an art form that I am inspired by learning the history of strip tease and how burlesque entertainment fits into the tapestry of American culture, free speech, and women’s rights, from midcentury to present day. Entertainment has the ability to capture the essence of people at any particular point in history, and classic burlesque is a way to explore and celebrate our collective history with vintage music and styles.

Other major influences to my craft include Rob Zombie and The Bible.
