"Dannielynn Birkhead is ready for her closeup.\r\nTwo decades after her mother became a world-famous model for GUESS  -- and five years after her untimely death -- the six-year-old daughter of Anna Nicole Smith makes her modeling debut for GUESS kids.\r\nIn the ad, the pretty little girl strikes a pose on the beach as she wears a denim mini-skirt, white-denim vest, graphic t-shirt and a fedora.\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Dannielynn has the same playful spirit that her mother had on a set,&amp;quot; said Paul Marciano, Creative Director for GUESS?, Inc. in a press release. (The ads for the Spring 2013 campaign will appear on buses, billboards and more beginning in mid-January 2013.) Adds Marciano: &amp;quot;She is a second-generation GUESS girl, which makes this campaign a first for us.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFollowing an extended paternity dispute with Smith&amp;apos;s partner Howard K. Stern, Dannielynn&amp;apos;s father was confirmed (via DNA test) to be Larry Birkhead, one of Anna&amp;apos;s former exes.\r\n\r\nBirkhead, 39, opened up to Us Weekly back in June 2011 about life as a single dad to Dannielynn -- and how he explains Anna Nicole&amp;apos;s tragic death to his little girl.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Dannielynn knows that her mom passed away. She obviously doesn&amp;apos;t know the details,&amp;quot; he told Us. &amp;quot;At first I said, &amp;apos;Your mommmy&amp;apos;s up in the clouds.&amp;apos; Then we were on a plane from Kentucky and she asked, &amp;apos;Which cloud is my mom on. Maybe she can come play?&amp;apos; You have to be forthright but keep it on a kid-friendly level.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
