It's no secret: Americans are not having enough fun! Los Angeles–based author, event specialist and socializing expert Allana Baroni makes it her business to reverse this trend and engage millions to be great socializers. She spreads the word through her television appearances, books, magazine contributions, Get Social website and as a featured expert on eHow.com. Her titles include: Get Social: Unleash Your Inner Extrovert, Flirtini: A Guide to Mixing and Mingling, Simplify Your Wedding and Simplify the Holidays. Her unique style of substituting affordable, clever and easy for agonizing, step-by-step, "are-we-there-yet" advice has landed her repeat spots on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Live! with Regis and Kelly, NBC's Today and all those dishy talk shows. She has traveled the world designing weddings and events for the famous and not-so-famous, but getting social means more to Allana than high-priced parties and amazing meals. Her formulas use humor and heart to give our socializing a soul and help us make meaningful connections that last.
