Let's connect this to Hannibal's statement: "[Bill] covets." Apart form rightly deeming that his murders are incidental, he says that Bill thinks he's a transsexual, and we might add: because he thinks transsexuals have it, that they possess the prestigious know-how That's why he identifies with them. It doesn't suprise us then that, while standing in front of the mirror, putting on his make-up, Bill utters his explicit come-on. He compulsively announces his value with his tucked-in privates, just as in some designers' W spread, taming that point of anxiety with the help of a mirror. This is key: even Rebellious Bill wants to be someone's It Girl, trying to captivate someone's desire in the mirror, seeing himself as captivating and captivated.
