Anna Nicole Smith didn’t have a huge career. Her most obvious career move was marrying a rich geriatric, but she was a Playboy Playmate of the Year and modeled for Guess. Larry Birkhead wants his young daughter with Anna Nicole to have memories of her mother, so he bought her some lingerie that was worn by the blond in a Playboy magazine pictorial.
Baby daddy Larry Birkhead is looking forward to showing 1-year-old Dannielynn the lingerie he purchased at a celebrity auction on Saturday night, a pink bustier (bought for $1,800) and white negligee (bought for $1,000) once worn by the late model for a Playboy photo shoot.
Smith’s onetime boyfriend said he wants to make sure the young heiress has something to remember her mom by. He hopes the sexy undergarments will help Dannielynn understand her mother’s life story—one day.
“You know, it’s not something I can show today, but something down the road,” he said. “It’s not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon.”
I know a lot of people think this is in questionable taste, but I’d rather that Larry Birkhead had it stored somewhere for his daughter to have, rather than it going on display somewhere.
Larry says that he won’t be showing his daughter the lingerie anytime soon. I wonder if he will eventually show Danielynn the picture of Anna Nicole wearing it. I guess one day he’ll have to explain it, but does anyone ever want to see a picture of their late mother in a raunchy Playboy pictorial?
Maybe Larry could ask Pamela Anderson how she explains her nude modeling past to her young sons. Wow, who ever would have thought you could go to Pamela Anderson for advice?
Larry Birkhead and daughter Dannielynn are shown at the opening of The Simpsons ride at Universal Studios Hollywood on 5/17/08, thanks to WENN.
Saving mom’s lingerie as an heirloom? Yikes what a sad commentary on Anna Nicole. I mean, in that case save a pair of Guess Jeans for when she modeled for them and looked good. I dunno I would think like, a bracelet, earrings, a ring… would probably be a better heirloom. This is sorta like Darth Vader telling Luke his destiny is the Dark Side right? Instead of a light sabre…she gets panties and a bustier…
😯 creepy.
WHY?
Is it possible he bought it for himself and is using Dannielynn as an excuse?
**shudder**
I kind of miss ANS and her crazy life. No one hams it up for the cameras quite like she did.
i read he was at an marilyn monroe auction and that it was HER lingerie, not anna nicole smith´s…
what a trailertrashy present … 😕
Totally aside, how cute is that little girl!
Why are people thinking this is wrong? That was what the woman was known for. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what he’s done. I think it was actually pretty thoughtful. And of course he’ll show her the pictures one day. It’s her mother, and they’re public pictures. I would certainly want to see some pics that made my mom famous. And Playboy isn’t trashy, Silly Lilly. I think you’re thinking of Hustler or Penthouse or something. Playboy only shows people topless (last I checked). I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showing your daughter the stuff that made her mom famous. ANS wasn’t the pillar of class or talent, but she was an icon, and this is stuff I’d be willing to bet, Dannielynn will keep treasured one day when she’s old enough.
As long as it is handled correctly, I am with Helcat. It was a big part of ANS’s life. It isn’t what most people think of when you talk about preserving the history of your mother because not every one’s mom was a Playmate…lol. 😛
The Playboy photo of Anna in that pink bustier was one of her most gorgeous photos ever. Larry didn’t have to go through the trouble of buying those things back but he did, which is pretty cool.
What a beautiful little girl Dannielynn is!
I thought Playboy was a fully nude magazine? I think the poses are more tasteful than that of Hustler & Penthouse.
At least he will be showing it to her instead of someone else showing it.
I see they fixed Dani’s crossed eyes. Good job.
