Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope)Rating: 2 likes, 2 dislikes I Love this show and once again the team was at their best. One of the many things that I like about this show is that especially the women aren't wearing stilettos out in the field or showing cleavage. I love Penelope with her funky clothes etc., I am a little disappointed that in this episode she was wearing her hair" exactly" like Pauley Perrette from NCIS. Too bad Kirsten, you were doing great with your own style! Read more Review posted on Wednesday, January 14th 2009 at 11:07 pm
