Early Life
Maitresse Madeline's (Also known as Alyssah Simone) BDSM lifestyle started in her personal life, and for her, it felt only natural to cross over into her professional life. She knew what she wanted out of life early on, answering ads for webcam models, she began meeting people in the adult film industry, filming adult content, and came to the conclusion that she could be both behind and in front of the camera. Soon after, she met her business partner and founded their company, Dark Circus. It was an easy progression from personal and professional interests into the film world with Dark Circus. Shortly after creating Dark Circus, Maitresse Madeline created a solo girl site.

Career
Maitresse Madeline has worked as a Domme with Kink.com, as well as producing her own content with Dark Circus, and a solo girl website. She has reached a level of esteem within the adult film industry that has enabled her to cross over into the mainstream film industry with the film, Kink, a documentary about the fetish website Kink.com. Kink was directed by Christina Voros and produced by James Franco.

Outtakes/Funniest Moments
Madeline recalls doing a small dick humiliation scene for a Fem Dom video once, but the problem was that the "slave" did not in fact have a small dick. She referred to him as "quite nice" and as she went into what was to be a long diatribe about his "inadequate cock", he continued to grow. By the end of the video, she couldn't keep a straight face or speak in full sentences. Strangely enough, she says that it was one of her top selling video clips.
