The always lovely Ivy Ilk

This year's Steampunk Ball theme was "Rusted Rodeo," in homage to the tradition of Old West Steampunk poprlarized by the television series and movie, "The Wild, Wild West," which departed from other westerns by including clever tools and mechanical gadgets. The look was typified, as it is each year, by Airship Athena member Ivy Ilk.
