From the Onion: "Kim, who in his rare public appearances wears a plain dark suit, said he ultimately hoped to cultivate an eccentric, yet vaguely sinister look as iconic as his father's pompadour, drab parka, and sunglasses, perhaps something "even nuttier" involving canes, a large yellow raincoat, or possibly a motorized scooter". -When there is no news, there is always the Onion. Awesome. Thanks for the link.
From all the accounts I've heard today from people that are vaguely familiar with the power structure in North Korea, there shouldn't be much of a power vacuum. It's all been well established and it was anticipated. As for a peoples revolt, it's hard to be angry when you've no knowledge that life outside of your country is any different.
