Kylie Bisutti, shown here at the 2009 Victoria's Secret fashion show, is now part-owner of God Inspired Fashion.

Ex-lingerie model Kylie Bisutti hasn't completely left the fashion world behind.

The 23-year-old, who released a tell-all memoir in May, is now part-owner of God Inspired Fashion, a line of everything from skinny jeans to backpacks with Bible verses on them.

"God Inspired Fashion is all about spreading God's word everywhere and making it easier for Christians to share their faith and God's love. And that's really what the world needs right now," Bisutti said in a statement on God Inspired Fashion's website.

The outfits and accessories also help get God's word back into schools, according to the company. CEO Angie Frost pointed out that, unless uniforms are required, public schools cannot restrict students "from expressing their faith through their clothing."
The brand 'is all about spreading God's word everywhere and making it easier for Christians to share their faith and God's love,' Bisutti said.

Bright-colored jeans for girls include verses like "For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul" (Proverbs 2:10) and "But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise You more and more" (Psalm 71:14). Quotes on button-down shirts for boys include "Do not be afraid of anyone, for judgment belongs to God," (Deuteronomy 1:17) and "He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense, I shall not be moved" (Psalm 62:6).

Bisutti said being a Victoria's Secret model made her feel like "a piece of meat," and she talks about the "harsh realities of the modeling industry" in her memoir, "I'm No Angel: From Victoria's Secret Model to Role Model." In the book, she reveals some of the crazy crash diets and extreme measures others, not just those working for the lingerie company, underwent to stay thin.

"I believe that the modeling industry as a whole really exploits young girls,'' Bisutti told Savannah Guthrie on NBC's "Today" show in May. "I'm just thankful that God changed my heart earlier on rather than being five or 10 years down the road runway modeling or lingerie modeling.''

However, Victoria's Secret slammed the former model, declaring that Bisutti was never officially an Angel.

"Ms. Bisutti has made numerous fabrications and misstatements of fact regarding her brief association with Victoria's Secret," the company said in a statement to the Daily News back in April. "In 2009, Ms. Bisutti won an online amateur modeling competition and hasn't worked for us since that year."

Bisutti beat out 10,000 other hopefuls to win a Victoria's Secret modeling competition when she was 19. She then left the lingerie modeling industry to "become a Proverbs 31 wife and mother," saying that it didn't comply with her Christian beliefs.

The California native now resides in Montana with her husband.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night." A Queens native, Smith began his career as a session musician and quickly struck up a partnership with Kurtis Blow after playing bass on "Christmas Rappin'."  Smith would continue to play on a number of Blow's tracks, co-writing a few as well, including the MC's breakthrough record, "The Breaks,"  which became the first rap record to be certified gold. Smith then began working with Blow's manager at the time, Russell Simmons. The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s ...
