ICE CUBE: Thom Cardwell is such a drag

Cardwell is beautiful in blue.

Sorry this was too late for Icepack's WHOWHATWHERE section. (Hey! I caught Max Weinberg playing cards on his tour bus with sugar packets at his recent World Cafe show, so gimme a break.) But my cell phone nearly clogged from all of the text messages and photos I got from last weekend's drag debut of Ms. Thom Cardwell, the sartorially splendid Philadelphia Cinema Alliance-r, Thom's Table foodie soirees, Buck Monkey events — like last night's networking wine event with QueerTIMES — and as development director of the upcoming QFest. But friends and attendees at the Traverse Arts Project's second annual Philadelphia GLBT Arts Festival (resident CP Queer Baiter Josh Middleton told you all about it, remember!?) got to know Cardwell in a whole new manner. For the first time ever, Cardwell donned drag to play Mary Haynes' mother in an all-drag reading of Claire Booth Luce's The Women. Comments came fast and furious after seeing Cardwell don a dress â most of them, like Darling Diner liason Dan Contarino would say, "The bitch turned it out." Indeed.
