Hello I would love to ask Kirsten, where did they get those fabulous clothes you wore on Criminal Minds? I find I would wait for you to come on just to see what gorgeous outfit they found for you that episode. Help a plus sized sister out, give up the brands and makers so we all can look good as big beautiful women. Thanks so much! Loved you in the show, still watching re-runs….
