Criminal Minds: Terrific interview by Dave Waldon with Kirsten Vangsness, Garcia on Criminal Minds.
"Kirsten Vangsness definitely stands out in a crowd, and not just because of her vivid outfits, a staple both of her personal style and of Penelope Garcia, the quirky but ever-efficient computer expert she plays on the hit CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.
Not that Vangsness’s typical attire doesn’t attract attention: at a recent CBS party, for example, she wore an ensemble consisting of a poofy purple dress, green bolero jacket and yellow-green earrings in the shape of handcuffs. But the clothes weren’t the reason the 35-year-old actress was more than holding her own in a nightclub filled with A-listers such as Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny."
