Larry Birkhead Buys Anna Nicole Smith's Lingerie For Daughter

Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead shelled out $3,000 at a celebrity auction scooping up lingerie once worn in a Playboy shoot by the late playmate.

Birkhead said he is trying to make sure his one-year-old daughter with Anna, Dannielynn, has something to remember her mother by.

"I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn't really know about," Birkhead said. "Playboy was such a big part of Anna's career."

Birkhead bought a pink bustier for $1,800 and a white negligee for $1,000 at the auction at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Larry, 35, was awarded custody of Dannielynn after Smith -- at the age of 39 -- died from an overdose of prescription drugs in February 2007.

Birkhead said he hoped the items would help his daughter learn her mother's life story -- when she's old enough.

"You know, it's not something I can show today, but something down the road," Birkhead said.

"It's not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon."
