Kirsten Vangsness, Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds, pictured above with fan and LA DJ Josh Peace. Reproduced with the permission of Josh Peace.
"I was DJ'ing for AIDS Project Los Angeles' Oscar After-Party and who should I find dancing in front of the DJ booth........ ..none other than our beloved Miss Vangsness! I sent one of my friends over to let her know I wanted to say "Hi" and she came right over. She looked gorgeous in a beautiful retro-style black & white polka-dot party dress. She seemed genuinely surprised when I told her how much I loved her on the show, and that I thought she was the best thing on it! And let me tell you......... ..this girl LOVES TO DANCE! It was such a treat. She was kind enough to take a picture with me and here it is! Viva la Vangsness!"

Thank you to Josh for sharing his special Kirsten Vangsness moment with us. :)
