While a packed schedule may have been the real reason Miranda Kerr finally doffed her wings this year, another former Victoria's Secret Angel had a very different reason for severing ties with the brand: her Christianity.

Kylie Bisutti won a contest run by the lingerie behemoth in 2009, walking the fashion show alongside Kerr and the other Angels, posing for magazines and catalogues, and touring the country to promote the brand. Last year, however, she made headlines when she decided to quit the profession altogether, citing dedication to her husband, her faith, and her realization that she didn't want to use her body to promote sex.

In today's New York Post, the 23-year-old has written a wide-eyed and, yes, pretty naive-sounding piece detailing some of the stories from her modeling days that led her to where she is now -- which, if you're curious, is in Montana, where she's working on a Christian clothing line and promoting her upcoming book, "I'm No Angel."

"I moved in with four other models on the Lower East Side. One of my roommates was a Christian, and we'd take the long subway ride to the Upper West Side to go to church, but we were the exceptions. I'd see girls getting into black SUVs with club promoters at night and getting home when the sun was coming up the next day -- teenagers my age!...One of my roommates was so bulimic she would involuntarily throw up when she ate. She would go to sleep crying every night and just look at herself in the mirror thinking that she was so fat."
