Hot Shots of the Week: Detective Big Booty Trudy

I watched a lot of Miami Vice growing up, and while Crockett and Tubbs were the dudes and I loved them, I always had a soft spot for Detective Trudy Joplin, masterfully played with sass and warmth by Olivia Brown. Not only was Trudy a good detective, she was also a scorching hot detective, the kind only South Florida can produce. With a wardrobe to envy and a body to pull it off, Trudy strutted and sauntered around Miami in some of the tightest outfits in television history. Squeezing into one skintight tube dress after another, Trudy’s fine figure was always on display. Her bodacious backside even earned her the memorable nickname “Big Booty Trudy,” which was emblazoned across the nameplate on her desk.

I have to assume that was done as an in-joke by some mischievous cast and crew members, but the fact they included it in the show is fantastic. Trudy was so much more than just a big booty, of course, but there’s no arguing the nickname’s accuracy and awesomeness. Look up “sexy,” “sultry,” and “smoldering” in the dictionary and you’ll find a picture of Trudy next to each one.

Heck, I would gleefully commit a vice crime just to get arrested by Detective Big Booty Trudy. Here’s hoping she frisk searches for weapons, too!

I usually keep “Hot Shots” a little shorter than this, but once I started selecting Olivia Brown photos I couldn’t stop. So sue me.
