Well, vanity could be interpreted as self-obsession, arrogance, pride... I'll accept frames that are based in the loosest way possible around the theme.
and NOS saves the day.

I'm sorry,but I see no vanity in that shot.
van⋅i⋅ty
/ˈvænɪti/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [van-i-tee] Show IPA noun, plural -ties, adjective4. lack of real value; hollowness; worthlessness: the vanity of a selfish life.
A definition doesn't really help...
Being a gangster ain't all it cracked up to be. Sure, you get all the cocaine and money, but there is never a safe day in the gangster life.
I don't really like this theme (well, couldn't really think of anything), but I tried anyway.
Thanks for all the contributions so far, but four entries? I'll be extending this for until Wednesday.
Optically, I really like NOS' shot. The lighting and the camera perspective are pretty interesting, a very free interpretation of the theme, though. Timothy's way of portraying the scene seems very obvious, and the shot itself seems pretty boring to me, as well.
As for me, I could just not come up with an interesting interpretation of the theme. Everything I thought of was either way to obvious or boring.

Please, can you choose one today? Im going to Danmark for four days, so I won't know who's won.
here's a different angle, unedited. again, it's clickable.

Sorry, I've been on a camping trip over the weekend.
4th: Timothy Ratner
Not wild about most things in this shot. The lighting is rather bland.
3rd: The Frozen Brick
It's nice, but just a bit plain. A good interpretation, but it could also fit in to many other themes.
2nd: Just_a_Minifig
A bit dark, I think and there's a bit of empty space above the reflection's head. I like the interpretation of the theme, though.
1st: NOS
I prefer the first entry. Very dramatic and an interesting interpretation. Would have been nice to have it in widescreen, I think.
Better late than never.

well, hmm...
away
okay, I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of a theme. so I'll just go with this.
interpret it as much as you like.
and use this for inspiration.
I think this is a pretty interesting theme. I'll probably make one more entry, because I have another idea for that.

Need to make an entry this time round.
Now look at it again, this time more closely.
