Djokovic deserves to wear whatever silly outfits and take whatever goofy pictures he wants because he is now "the man". We haven't had "a man" that isn't Nadal and Federer for about 8 years. Even throughout this entire year when Novak has dominated, I kept saying that once the clay season comes, he'll fizzle out a bit. That just isn't happening. Instead of acting like the fat kid whose breathing is affected by clay (which he has done many many times), he's acting like a genuine dirtballer. Actually, no - he's different than a regular dirtballer, because his strokes are still just as penetrating as they are on the hard courts.
I guess there's not much to say other than I'm completely blown away by Djokovic right now. He continues to exceed very high expectations and appears to only be getting better. At this rate, there's no reason he couldn't take the French Open and Wimbledon, which would leave his best surface at the US Open to finish off the Grand Slam. Do I think it's going happen? No - but at the same time, Djokovic has left me so unsure of how good he really is that I don't know what to think anymore.. with one exception, the French Open is going to be completely awesome.
