The tragic life of Anna Nicole Smith is second only to the tragedy of her death and the death of her young son shortly after the birth of her daughter Dannielynn. The paternity of the little girl was hotly debated and thought to be either Anna’s doting attorney Howard K. Stern , Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt , Mark Hatten, Smith’s former bodyguard Alexander Denk, the deceased husband of Anna a la frozen sperm J. Howard Marshall, or boring ol’ entertainment photojournalist Larry Birkhead. Were we prematurely relieved for the baby or let down by the anti-climatic realization that it was, in fact, Birkhead who had fathered beautiful and dynamic Anna Nicole’s baby? We might have assumed that they drove off into a normal suburban American sunset of obscurity to lead a quasi-normal life. We would, however, have been wrong. Birkhead, in grand celebrity (albeit celebrity gained from intercourse with celebrity) style has eschewed "normal" in favor of the not so slightly offputtingly weird. According to Enews Larry spent nearly $3000 on her dead mother’s old lingerie for 1 year old Dannielynn, which included $1,800 pink bustier, and $1,000 white negligee.

"The sexy items were once worn by Anna Nicole Smith for a Playboy photo shoot. Birkhead wanted to give their daughter something special to remind her of her mother. He hopes the sexy pieces of clothing will help their daughter understand more of her mother’s life story."

"Something special" it certainly is. If MY mother had taken a picture like that, I would certainly want to know about it!

“I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn’t really know about. Playboy was such a big part of Anna?s career” Birkhead was quoted as saying by Usmagazine.com. “You know, its not something I can show today, but something down the road. Its not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon,” he added. And so little Dannielynn can rest easy and keep the nightmares at bay… for now.

May The Star Celeb be so bold as to praise the creative parenting of Father Birkhead? Certainly Anna’s old yearbook, teddy bear, photo album or prom dress (assuming it was dry cleaned, boiled and soaked in industrial strength disinfectant) would have been far too banal. I’m sure Dannielynn will gaze lovingly at the pieces you have purchased for her dreaming one day of wearing them in her mother’s honor at a Playboy shoot of her own. Perhaps she could begin using them to play dress up right now! Throw out the silly princess and firefighter outfit! She has better things in store for her. You have all but guaranteed a life of bittersweet notoriety for Dannielynn not unlike her mother’s. The fact that now your once unheard of name now being once again in the news has nothing to do with it at all. The well of uncomfortable celebrity tragedy that was the life of poor Anna Nicole we once thought had run dry, but now thanks to you, her father, the only pure and good product of that life that didn’t die tragically will be able to carry on her mother’s tradition and memory. Way. To. Go.
