Founders
The Golt sisters, born in 1967, both served as police officers in the LAPD for a decade before becoming licensed bond agents as well as bounty hunters. The sisters had responded that they were happily "married to their jobs." when Diane Sawyer inquired about their husbands and children
Company Motif
As seen on Good Morning America, nearly everything associated with Lipstick Bail Bonds is hot pink in color. The sisters and their agents, who call themselves "the bond girls", wear pink clothes, pink lipstick, and ride in pink company automobiles. Their hot pink fleet is made up of 24 vehicles including a Humvee, a smart car and a SWAT truck. Their five California offices are pink down to the paper they print on. According to Good Morning America, they usually carry no guns. In keeping with the pink lipstick motif they carry pink pepper spray, pink stun guns, and pink handcuffs.
Bail Bonds & Bounty Hunting
The primary purpose of a bail bonds company is posting bail to get suspects out of jail. Lipstick Bail Bonds charges %10 to release suspects then monitor them to ensure they make their court dates. There's been a substantial increase in bail jumping in Southern California and if a suspect jumps bail by failing to appear in court the company loses money posted for the suspects release.
Bounty Hunting is illegal in every country except the Philippines and the USA. Most bail bondsman hire bounty hunters to capture the fugitives but some, including the Golts and their agents, take on the dangerous job of acting as their own bounty hunters.
All Female Agents
The company agents are all females. Along with the founding twin sisters the main agents/decoys ("Bond girls") are Dawn Wickwire and Kimberely Shepherd. Teresa Golt is quoted in ABC News as saying if a guy wants to be a "Lipstick Bond girl" he'd just have to adhere to the company requirements of wearing pink clothes, shoes, lipstick and driving the pink cars.
