Pony Boy Tommy
I have to say I'm a tad surprised that there are so many Pony Boy lovers out there . I can't quite recall what drew me to the 'Outsiders' I had seen 'Rumble Fish' , like any good trendy boy about town because 'The Face magazine' told me too . But I'm pretty sure I caught 'The Outsides' much later on betamax , I loved the rich photography by Stephen H. Burum and that Pony Boy ran off with the Karate Kid and set up home together and of course were visited by Matt Dillon as Dallas .

Why C Thomas Howell caught my eye over Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe (although I do have fond memories of Rob in one scene getting out of the shower ) I can't really say . Maybe it was the capped T shirt ala Chachi Scott Bio from Happy Days . I do know that for a while I watched so many ' bad films ' with Pony Boy in , from Secret Admirer to Red Dawn , though I have to confess that Pony Boy and I parted company around the time of Soul Man .
Happily Pony Boy continued to act after Teen idol doom came and went , and I was thrilled to see that C Thomas will be in the new Spider-man film . As they say though , 'Once a Dreamboat always a Dreamboat'
