Larry Birkhead wanted little Dannielynn Smith to have something to remember her mother, Anna Nicole, by, so at a recent auction Birkhead scooped up a few of his baby mama's most prized possessions.

Unorthodox heirlooms to say the least, Birkhead purchased a nearly $2,000 pink bustier a $1,000 white negligee for his daughter:

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

"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."

We would kill to write that children's book. (Call us, Larry!)
