Her tweet, on the 44th anniversary of the couple’s marriage:

“Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.”

In a series of follow-up tweets:

“31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone.”

“Together, let’s bring back America, the green land of peace.”

“The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him.”

The image of Lennon’s bloodied spectacles, with New York’s Central Park in the background, was also the cover photo of Ono’s 1981 album Season of Glass.

The 85th Academy Awards – The Eyewear

Congratulations to all the winners and to the nominees for the The 85th Academy Awards! Although not many tend to wear their glasses for the red carpet, a few did – and they looked great! Last year we saw many more. I didn’t see any women with glasses though, did you?
