Book Description:

In December 2011, 21-year-old Victoria's Secret model Kylie Bisutti stunned the fashion industry when she chose faith over fame and fortune and made the switch from supermodel to role model.

In I'm No Angel, Kylie shares her story--from her early years struggling to make it big in the cut-throat world of modeling, her "big break" winning the Victoria's Secret Runway Angel competition, and the disillusionment and spiritual warfare that followed, to the moment she realized that she could no longer reconcile her career with her Christian beliefs, surrendered her life to God, said goodbye to the runway, and dedicated her life to preaching a message of modesty and inner beauty.

Along the way, Kylie talks about her personal struggles with inadequacy, low self-esteem, and her near-constant quest for approval in a world where you can never be thin enough, pretty enough, or sexy enough. She helps readers understand that true beauty lies within and that real fulfillment comes from knowing, loving, and serving Christ.

Review:

What an awesome story!

First of all, let me just say that out of all the biographies I've ever read this is one that I didn't have a hard time getting into. It didn't have a lull in the story, so I never really wanted to put it down. I also loved being able to see the photos, and really get a vision of the ongoing story. I have to admit, I looked at the photos before I even started the book, just so I could picture everything.

Another thing I liked about this book is that we are given a look into the world of modeling. Kylie was able to give us insight, but not speak poorly of anyone. She was able to portray the modeling world for what it is, and do it in a Christian way.

Bravo, Kylie! Thank you for showing women, young and old, what is truly important in life!

This is what being an OKC Zoo Facebook Fan will get ya. :)

This is Rex, he's a pretty amazing dude elephant!

I can't believe my friend, Anya, and I went to the zoo today and I forgot my camera! For shame, for shame!!

Let me tell you about today - it was so nice, relaxing, and fun!

It felt so good to hang out with one of my best friends.

Do you have one of those friends that you can talk text every single day for two years, and then get busy and talk text every once in a while, but when you see each other you pick up like you never missed one day of talking texting? That is exactly how I feel about Anya! She's been my friend through it all!

Thanks for hanging out at the OKC Zoo with me today, Anya! We need to figure out how to become "helpers" at the zoo! :)

Then, we went to Tucker's and had a grilled jalapeno burger! YUM!

And last, but certainly not least, we went to Blue Seven. Have you ever been? Let me just tell you, we had more fun than should be legal in that place! You really need to check it out!
