Moira Rose is sheet mask culture taken to the extreme: luxury for its own sake
Moira Rose, vest-wearer. Photo: press.poptv.com I was sitting on my couch next to my boyfriend last summer when I first encountered Moira Rose, the most idiosyncratic and entitled denizen of Netflix comedy Schitt’s Creek. My boyfriend took one look at her highly affected mannerisms, turned to me, and said, “Oh my God. It’s your mother.”

But in a show full of overblown caricatures, one small costume detail caught my interest above all else: Moira Rose’s pajama vests. When I first glimpsed one, I didn’t give it much thought — it was simply the logical transition of a couture obsessive’s day-to-night look. Then I started to notice she wears a vest in every bedtime scene.
It haunted me. I’d think about the vests as I wandered idly through Whole Foods, muttering “Aleeexissssss” to myself, over-pronouncing every syllable in Moira’s impossible-to-place accent. I folded laundry, wondering if the brooches on Moira’s vests ever popped open and pricked her in the middle of the night.
