taylor budesky is…?
Still need to know more about this cool lady?
We get it. Here’s a whole lot of fun facts about her. You can always check out what she’s listening to here and see her carefully curated candid Instagram for your enjoyment here.
Taylor drinks far too much coffee and red wine, and can be a little annoying about sunsets. If she isn’t creating, you may find her baking cinnamon rolls, hiking, or talking during a movie about how much she liked a certain shot or her predictions.
Some of Taylor’s favorite foods include pasta in any and every way it can be made, sloppy joes, pickles - she’ll ordered fried pickles at any restaurant if they’re on the menu - and while she’s not one for choosing a favorite way to prepare a potato, she is impartial to it in its tot form. Oh! And sweet potatoes…also in their tot form.
She’s disgusting and might admit to liking her cold, leftover Chinese food straight out of the carton more than when it’s hot and fresh. She likes pineapple and olives on her pizza…at the same time. We’ll let that one sink in for you.
Ice cream is complicated, are you listening? If it’s Ben & Jerry’s - Cherry Garcia. If it’s a local mom and pop’s kind of place - Coconut if they have it, Rocky Road if they don’t, and if they don’t have that, she’ll cry. If it’s a shake - Strawberry, extra points if it’s got real chunks in it. If it’s anything else - Mint Chocolate Chip.
(can you tell she likes food?)
Taylor loves long walks on the beach and…okay kidding…except not really cause who doesn’t like that? But she doesn’t live near the ocean, so lakes will have to do. We’ve established she loves sunsets and a good glass of red wine, but she’ll have a cheap beer with you too.
A FIRM believer in, advocate for, and subscriber to “dance like no one is watching”.
She loves sunflowers, daises, and yellow roses. Giraffes are her favorite animal and manatees are a close second. Sea otters and cows are tied for third. Oh shit, she forgot about sloths…fun fact: she worked at the Minnesota Zoo for several years for their Zoo Camp programs because it combined her love for animals and teaching.
She’s terrible at bowling but loves it, a pretty okay tennis player, and enjoys kayaking.
She has a passion for travel and has been to 49 of the 50 states. She recently got several stamps in her passport (go check out her photography page to see where she’s been!).
While she thoroughly loves the great outdoors, she is terrified of grasshoppers - she blames the movie A Bug’s Life. Spiderman is her favorite superhero, she could probably quote the entirety of the movie Bridesmaids to you, and she most likely holds the record for most views of the hit TV show Friends. She’s been skydiving despite having a fear of flying and heights, and her favorite season is Autumn.
Asking someone their favorite books, songs, or movies is like asking them to take a piece of their heart out to get stomped on, but if she has to answer:
Her top five movies, in no particular order, are: While You Were Sleeping, The Breakfast Club, Jurassic Park, Spider-Man: Into/Across The Spiderverse, and The Princess Bride.
If you asked her to name a moment from a television series that has resonated and stayed with her (for many reasons) she would take no time at all and respond instantly with: Steve and Robin in the bathroom at Starcourt Mall in Stranger Things.
If she was ever brave enough to sing karaoke she’d probably choose Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede. And if the crowd was right, she’d had a shot of tequila, and there wasn’t a too long dance break in the middle - Bust A Move by Young MC.
Taylor could honestly chat for hours on the things she loves about movies, books, and music. Check out her Instagram highlights for what she’s been reading and watching lately, and her spotify for what she’s jamming to.
