Larry Birkhead Will Never Reveal The Name Of His Pink Packing Foam Supplier

No, Bobby Trendy didn’t swallow a hand grenade and detonate all over the walls of Anna Nicole Smith-legacy-upholder Larry Birkhead’s living room. The stay-at-Anna’s-home dad is packing up a Liberace museum’s worth of gaudy pink mementos from Smith’s Coldwater Canyon residence and moving elsewhere. He tells Life & Style why in a Life & Style is Covering Larry’s Moving Expenses Exclusive!

L&S: So why are you selling it now?
Larry: You know, I always said I’d never sell, but the longer we’ve been here, the more I’ve realised it’s not built for children. We live over a canyon, and while the view’s great, there’s no backyard. I’ve bought Dannielynn every toy under the sun, but they can’t replace a yard. She doesn’t have a place to have her friends over to play.
L&S: You’ve kept an entire closet of Anna’s clothing, accessories and jewellery. Is that another way of preserving her memory for Dannielynn?
Larry: Yes. Every piece in there has a story. Someday, I hope to show them all to Dannielynn and tell her what event her mum wore them to and what they meant to her — from the casual T-shirts to the fancy dresses. I want her to understand how beautiful and glamorous her mum was.

We have no doubt Dannielynn eventually will, once she’s old enough to fully grasp the concepts of beauty and glamour, but before the time she’s able to operate a DVD player. Until then, she’ll just play among the Anna artefacts randomly strewn about in a meticulously art-directed fashion, blissfully unaware of the stories every urn, cherub, and leopard skin gown would tell if only these inanimate objects could talk.
