Larry Birkhead plunked down three grand at an auction this weekend for lingerie worn by Anna Nicole Smith in a Playboy shoot before she died. According to Us Weekly

Birkhead paid $1,800 for a pink bustier and $1,000 for a white negligee because he wanted to give their 1-year-old daughter Dannielynn a keepsake of her mother.

“I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn’t really know about,” he told the Associated Press. “Playboy was such a big part of Anna’s career.”

Nothing makes a better keepsake for child than some of momma’s used lingerie. Not to mention the panache a hot little crotchless number mounted over the crib brings to a one-year old’s room! All Larry needs to do now is pipe in Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” and stack a couple of gin-soaked singles by the crib, and — except for the noticeably absent puke — you’d almost swear Anna Nicle was right there in the room with you.
