Getting an interview after you've started a job - Advice please!

I have two jobs. I just got a call for an interview at another place and booked it for Wednesday at 4pm. I'm not even sure I'm going to go because I would have to quit both and likely earn less money. Plus, the lustre of the company that called is... different. Let's say if they were different magazines, I would be at Time, with contract work at National Geographic. This other company would be like Maxim.

It could be fun. There could be lots of scantily clad women. I could get national exposure. It could damage my resume. I could likely never get hired for my dream job.

Work into this that I just started both my other positions and have not accrued leave yet. I would have to come up with some kind of cockamamie reason to get a couple hours off. Also, my contract work is what I really like and it seems like there may be a possibility of that becoming full time - though the company is looking for buyers. The price is very high, so that may or may not happen.

BTW, these are not magazines, but are a form of media.
