If you've ever found yourself duplicating [1] the iconic hand gestures of Schitt's Creek [2]'s Alexis Rose, you have an entirely different famous family to thank: the Kardashians. That's right, not only did actor Annie Murphy [3] base Alexis's vocal fry on the likes of Paris Hilton [4] and Kim Kardashian [5], she based her signature hand gesture [6] on how those two reality stars hold their bags.
During an appearance on interview series Build, Murphy revealed she got the idea from watching clips of Hilton and Kardashian: "Late one night, I was like, 'What if there was no handbag and I just flipped my wrist over and then, like, added another wrist?'" Much like her frequently yelling David's name [7], this is one of the biggest defining characteristics of the essence of Alexis. Guess that means she's not only a little bit Alexis, but a little bit Kardashian, too. In case you've forgotten how to do "the Alexis," below are just a few of our favourite GIFs of her famous gesture.
