and models around the world, zealous for the coveted "Victoria's Secret Angel" spot Bisutti once had, all cry, "say what?!"
Kylie Bisutti says it best:
"I selfishly desired the attention that I was getting and I gave in to worldly ways… UNTIL I had a very gracious and convicting AWAKENING!
"The Lord knocked me off my feet and showed me where to find true happiness and self worth. How to be truly beautiful (which has NOTHING to do with external beauty) and most importantly how to truly live a life for Him and His glory and not my own.
…"So, I stopped modeling lingerie, and skimpy bathing suits. I told myself I would never be on a men’s magazine again, and I decided to be more modest in the way that I dressed. I don’t want to be known as a sex symbol or lingerie model.
"I desire to be known as a woman who fears the Lord."Shannon Stewart, a fellow Christian model, encourages Kylie to continue in her endeavors to fight the stereotype of today's models and present a picture of godly modesty.
Shannon herself struggled while on the cast of America's Next Top Model. pressure from Tyra Banks and the photographers resulted in a couple of skimpy photos, but God graciously recovered her, and Shannon also saves her body for her husband.
***P.S.: I would suggest not searching for "Shannon Stewart" on Google Images. there are a couple of different Shannon Stewarts, and the majority of pictures that will show up are not the Shannon in this article. there is a link to the good Shannon Stewart's website attached to her name above.***
