But you're not thinking about fries any more, are you?
David Hewlett and Nathan Fillion should take me out for french fries and a chocolate shake!

Cashmere, comments on the Flickr item seem to indicate the bra was probably marketed for drag queens.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If that bra was primarily intended for drag queens, it would have been available in sizes other than 32, 34 and 36.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the current aversion to nipples is weird too. If there were surgery around to make it so I didn't have to wear a bra (but didn't change the size of my breasts), I'd be saving my pennies for it. So my optimal state would have a nipple risk, and that's not something that bothers me.
However, the double nipple question is a very valid one.
I've seen ads for bras with holes in them which allows for nippleage to still happen.
I've seen those too, in the 70s. But they were always saucily advertised. They too assume that all nipples are both created and placed equally.

OTOH, I've seen ads for bras with holes in them which allows for nippleage to still happen. Don't remember what era, though.
I have too, and I am pretty sure it was 1970's Woman's Day or craft magazines.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After Dark was a New York City magazine targeted to gay men, covering nightlife, entertainment and culture. While it may have appeared in women's magazines at the time (I seem to remember seeing it in a few old ones), most likely in this case it was being marketed to drag queens.
No, no, no! After Dark was certainly a very gay friendly magazine, but it also had a strong female readership. It covered theater and the arts - it wasn't just a gay stroke mag.
It all has to do with the Natural Look prevalent in the early 70s. You were considered to be very uptight and square to wear a bra, and so if you wanted to be hip you're nipples would be showing. But if you still wanted breast support you would wear the Nippleator.
It's the same market of Faux Hippie Fashion as glue-on sideburns for accountants.
eta: Anyway, drag queens were not particularly interested in emulating natural look hippie girls.
