1. The meaning of strut : does it mean boast?
My HHP is a way for me to scream, strut, or whisper whatever is on my mind or in my imagination
2. The author is inspired by three things... scuplture, video, and anyone who understands his daughter.... video has nothing to do with his daughter, right?
I am inspired by Calatrava's skyscraping sculpture, the next 45 seconds of fame to appear on YouTube, anyone who can understand my 13 year old daughter.
3. Does it mean I am better than brands? I precedes brands?
Brands are often playing catch-up to where I arealy am
Many Thanks!!! |

In this case, yes. Because you cannot literally strut (walk in a bold, arrogant, or flashy manner) on a home page, here it is used as a metaphor for boasting.

Correct, mostly. Actually Calatrava's architecture that looks like massive sculptures. And it may not be the video per se, but rather the brief fame that comes with a clever video.

Yes, that you are ahead of fashion trends.
