I was born in 1961, which puts me at the tail end of the boomers.  Or, 
depending on which set of demographics you choose, around the middle of 
Generation X according to Douglas Coupland, who coined the term (but not a 
member of "Gen-X", a derivative term which for some reason refers to people 
born even later on).

It is a reference to the two younger-women cast members of Gilligans Island.  
Ginger was the movie-star, whereas MaryAnn was the country girl. Basically a 
reference to flashy versus wholesome.
