Amanda Palmer has to be the most popular girl at Lexington High School. The frontwoman of the Dresden Dolls - who is an LHS graduate - hosted a party Saturday night for students who performed in a show she produced for them with her former drama teacher Steven Bogart. The late-night shindig was held at Palmer's parents house in Lexington. About 40 teens snacked on pizza and hung out with Palmer and Bogart in the living room. Grown-ups played it cool and stayed in the kitchen.
