“The GQ Candidate” by Keli Goff Book Party
Rebecca Fishman & Victoria Michael
The Park Hyatt Washington, D.C. served as the main venue for author, blogger and political analyst Keli Goff’s D.C. party for her 2nd book and 1st novel, “The GQ Candidate”. The 65 or so guests sipped the exclusive to the hotel’s “Pamela’s Punch” cocktail that is made up of sangria and Prosecco (quite refreshing if I do say so myself) and wine and had a few passed hors d’oeuvres as they bought books and talked about summer plans and “the other GQ party” which was coinciding at the same time over at Neyla (more on that in another post).

Former Congressman Artur Davis and Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney made comments to introduce Keli Goff, not holding back on praise and pride before the lady of the hour talked a bit about her own interesting ride in the nation’s capital on the Hill and in the media. She even gave her personal thumbs up on the Punch, saying she doesn’t drink, but definitely enjoyed a sip or two of the refreshing cocktail. Later, a group of us ventured down to The Lounge to talk more. Keli told me that so many people had been asking her “Who is the cover model?” for the book that she’s planning on doing her next piece on exactly that…the search for her cover man.
