No vale nada/ un real

when a person is ugly or plain we say no vale nada, or no vale un real. In English?

Hmmm not sure.

The only thing that springs to mind to me immediately is a 'Plain Jane'.

She' s a Plain Jane

Maybe also: As ugly as ogres ? :)

Not sure if there is an expression for an ugly or average looking guy.

No vale un real o nada o un centavo is more size than face, somebody really short and skinny.
