I think there are pictures of these things at the Alec Eiffel site. I know that Trompe Le Monde had a promo pin.

| Wow, $90C for the Velouria pin! I have the Bossanova lapel pin and it cost nothing even close to that price. Has anyone seen/have the Doolittle "Let's Get Pixized" pin? |

All of this stuff is on the Alec Eiffel site in the "fetishist gallery"
The Doolittle Pixy Stix, the Trompe key chains and mobile pieces, a ton of cool ass shit over there. |

Another cool item is a Pixies watch, a Canadian promo item made at the time of TLM. It's a simple Swatch type of watch, with a purple "P" logo.
The Trompe Le Monde keychain is a French item. The pictures on Alec Eiffel are from my copy, and I have never heard of another one. I got it in quite funny circumstances. At a record fair in Paris, years ago, a seller more specializing in Celine Dion -type of stuff told me that he had "something nice" but was unable to tell me more. He told me that he had this in a box, and that he would look for it. He asked me to call him the week after. I did, but he had not found it yet. So he asked me to call back later. This lasted for a couple of months. At the end I gave up. Then, 6 months later I see this guy again at a record fair. I was so pissed off at him that I hesitated asking him about this "nice" mysterious item. When I did, he told me that he had found it and described it as an eyeball keychain. He then sold it to me, for virtually nothing. |

Adam, I know of a Let's Get Pixielated badge (not a pin). Is this what you are referring too? |

You can find it on ebay from time to time. I don't have one myself. |

What makes you think it is not official?
It is!
Actually, the whole package was a white generic cardboard box, with a sticker of Labels (the French subsidiary of Virgin distributing their albums in France). The box contained a French copy of the CD with a promo sticker on it, the key ring (in two pieces, within the eyeball in a plastic case), and a promotional page about the band and the release.

That Bossanova planet badge was a heartbreaker for me... I lost it on e-bay because I was away when the bidding ended...
That said, a P logo watch may just be the only watch I ever owned but didn't lose....
