When Priya Panda decided to start a band, she got her closest buddies together and tried to make it work. But just like living with your best friend, being in a band with them isn’t all slumber parties and feathery pillow fights either.  Within the last four years, things (and people) have changed, she says, but she’s definitely found her rock n’ roll family with Diemonds bandmates C.C. Diemond, Cuzo, Yeti, and Al Biddle.

This month’s Bitchin’ Babe - True Dirty Rocker - Priya Panda, talks to Bitchin’ Lifestyle about fronting her band, Diemonds, gives us the lowdown on her musical influences (some of which we’ve never heard of), and of course, rants about her insane obsession with food.

I’d love to tell you that sometimes your work just has to come first. I’d love to tell you something about the value of a job well done and the satisfaction that comes with accomplishing a task at the times which may be hardest for you. But I’m not going to.

Instead, here are three of the coolest, craziest and most dangerous waterslides and amusement park attractions you probably wish you were on instead of wherever you are now. Enjoy.

Some pretty exciting stuff went down last week, so it's time to give you our Bitchin' weekly roundup...
